I'm refinishing my cockpit caprails and have stripped off all of the hardware and old varnish. I also cleaned out all of the butt joints between the teak planks:

My questions are:ÔÇóis 1/16" deep enough?ÔÇóshould I seal the joint surface with something before I apply the caulk?ÔÇóif so, what should I seal with: thinned varnish or CPES (or similar epoxy product)?ÔÇólastly, choice of caulk: originally I planned to use Boatlife Life-Calk, now I've read good things about Teak Decking System's SIS440
