I am in the planning stage of refinish my deck. Sailboat, 30 plus feet.

The deck is the original non skid. Ok shape after 30 years.

I checked with Interlux. They sell a one part paint for non skid. I like
that because two part paints are so weather conditional and I
am doing the work in the spring.

Now for the question .. the primer. Interlux sells a two part primer which
seems very sweet. It is an epoxy primer.

The write-up says it will get into the little cracks, etc and that would be
good. But will it be compatible with the one part finish?

And is it worth while using a two part paint with a one part finish?

Interlux also has a one part primer that seems good.

Any deck experts out there?




If you want the job to last you *must* use a 2 part LPU... One part paints are
not tough enough for deck work, especially the non-skid areas.

I suggest you take a look at:

Deck and non-skid are covered towards the bottom of the article.

We have used this method for over 12 years and never had a failure, or
disappointed customer.
