Damn.
The plan did seem a bit risky but I was looking
forward to hear how it turned out.

OK, it's two. Sue me. Pressing a mold into
rapidly curing gelcoat sounds like an incredibly
painful thing to do to yourself.

I was wondering if anyone has ever ventured to
do the following project that Iâm working
through. I bought my boat from the original
owner 2 years ago and am in the middle of redoing my non-slip.
Â
I have removed all deck hardware with the
exception of the toe rail, sanded down the
existing non-slip so that all is smooth and am
preparing to spray gelcoat over the entire
deck. Once sprayed smooth, I will tape off
areas for pattern and spread a layer of gelcoat
followed immediately by the pressing of the
Gibco flex mould to create the non-slip.

I know this is different than the original
roll-on finish, but I think the Gibco wears
better, is easier to clean, is easier on bear
skin, and looks much better to boot. My hope
is that the grip is better than rolled as it is
more consistent throughout. There are dozens
of patterns and since Iâm not matching, Iâm
getting the one claiming to have the best
grip. It will be definitely better than
current as the surface is chalked throughout and
worn in many areas. In addition, there was a
deck repair some years back and the color is
visibly different and the surface below the
non-slip repair is thin and almost see through.Â
Â
Iâm waiting for this months -20c temperatures
to move out before I start heating and spraying surface. Canadian winters
.
Â
Has anyone ever tackled such a project and if
so, do you have any hints. Iâm sure there
are lots of opinions here and I know Iâm about
to open the can of worms on many levels but Iâd like to hear what you think.
Â
Thanks,
