I'll 2nd the Kiwi Grip--easy to put on and the 'grip' can be varied easily, if
desired, by the roller 'nap' and technique of rolling.
I had the yard put it on after my crew removed the hardware--first time for the
yard doing it--and they were impressed.
No issues yet going into my 3rd year with it.

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

I have one word. Kiwi Grip.
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.

Â
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.Â
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,
