SECTION SIX: Non-Skid Deck Coatings
We have a page that talks about all your anti-slip options - an Anti-Slip Primer - click here
Consider our Rough Coat product (listed below) as an excellent and easy alternative for 'new' non skid on your
boat.
Rough Coat™: floor epoxy with grit
CANNOT BE SOLD IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA
This is our special floor epoxy with grit already mixed-in for non slip. It is solvent based, flexible, and rolls on at about 160 - 180 square feet per gallon kit. In terms of color and texture it seems to match the appearance of 'fine sharp sand in flat enamel' on small custom made wooden boats I've seen at the WoodenBoat show in Maine.
Send us a self addressed stamped envelop and we will send you a piece of cardboard coated with Rough Coat for your inspection. This hard sample is also available in our Grit Sampler kit listed below.
This product is listed in our epoxy paint section of this online catalog (click here: http://www.epoxyproducts.com/4_epoxypaint.html).
Walnut Shell Anti-Slip:
Better than sand. For use as a foot traffic anti-slip additive to paint, ground walnut shells have no equal. As a hardened wood it will absorb a bit of the epoxy, stay suspended in the epoxy (instead of sinking to the bottom like sand), and can be sanded away at some time in the future (unlike sand anti-slip which will destroy any sandpaper). Add 16 ounces (1 pint) per gallon of roller applied epoxy. Used in our flex-deck anti slip system (includes case stuty link!) - CLICK HERE

Ground Rubber Grit (oyster shell gray/white) - (medium to coarse size)
Rubber chip makes a great anti-slip surface that is easy on the feet (including bare feet). Unlike other grits, our white rubber will not show up as black dots on your floor/deck as the surface coating begins to wear. Can be used in our flex-deck anti slip system (includes case stuty link!) - CLICK HERE

1 quart - $8
This grit is coarse enough (unlike the walnut shell) to not get 'lost in the epoxy' if you mix it into the liquid epoxy. For thinner coatings and for 'broadcasting' the grit on top, the walnut works well too.

REMARKS - COMMENTS
Non Skid decks (recommendations): Roll on a coat of Basic or Premium No Blush marine resin (section one) with the walnut shell additive. Then paint with exterior latex to the color you want. Use walnut shells because you can sand it off in the future and, walnuts (being wood) will not scratch surfaces, etc.
We always recommend the $11 test unit of the UT100 as it is unique in its application. Goes on like rubbery cake icing.
