Re: Stus-List EVA foam deck nonskid
I am also thinking about doing my cockpit as I find it slippery when healed over. Does anyone have a sense of how the smooth compares to the routed surface for traction?

Re: Stus-List EVA foam deck nonskid
Thanks Dennis, That stuff looks like the decks added to surfboards and SUPs. I might do my cockpit with it?

Re: Stus-List EVA foam deck nonskid
They use EVA foam for windsurfer booms so it’s pretty durable. And it’s the same stuff you see used on broom, rake, shovel handles, bike handles, etc. I’m thinking of using some to wrap my steering wheel instead of one of those stupid-expensive leather kits. Only thing is the actual boom ‘wrap’ they sell seems only to come in black. I think blue would look better (match dodger, sail cover, etc.) I keep meaning to go ask at the foam shop to see if they can source it. Perhaps try putting a yoga mat or a camping sleep mat out in the sun and check to see how hot it gets. From: Dennis C. via CnC-List Sent: Saturday, August 01, 2015 10:06 AM To: CnClist Cc: Dennis C.

Re: Stus-List EVA foam deck nonskid
The EVA foam actually performs better than kiwi-grip for traction tests. My only concerns were how long will it last, how long will the adhesive last, and what is left on the deck if you go to remove it? I also worried about how hot it might get and how it would look after it weathered a few seasons. All if those concerns pushed me toward kiwi-grip which I'm quite happy with.
