Re: [bolger] Anit-skid paint

I use the same method, except I mask out the area I want the
antiskid on, rather than trying to antiskid the whole area.
It looks neater. You have to do a antiskid only coat this
way after the first coat dries so it takes longer.

I second the sand option. Local paint and hardware stores carry skidtex
which is very fine silica sand. I find that mixing the sand with the base
coat with a paint mixer chucked in a cordless drill is very effective. I
like to mask the perimeter to create a smooth boarder then pour the slushy
mixture on the surface to be covered then drag/roll it out with a small foam
roller. Keep the mixture well mixed and watch to see that you are get the
sand evenly spread. I have done this with one part urethane paints and have
had very good results.

john,
I just use fine sand sprinkled over the first undercoat while still wet.
don't use too much, or it will be absolutely non-skid but do the
same to your knees sandpaper does (surprise).
i use a small sieve from the kitchen. try to apply half as much as
you think is necessary. you can always add some with the next
coat.
takes a bit of time though

Howdy all,

I am re-doing part of the deck (Dynel over ply) of an AS 29, and am
wondering if anyone has tried Sherwin Williams "Sharktooth" anti-
slip compound and can give a report.

Or, if anyone has a recommendation for something else that works
well, and has continued to work for a reasonable length of time.

Thanks!
