So I'm refurbing the decks on my old Morgan sailboat and need to add non
skid as the old is worn and with a few more coats of paint, won't be any
good at all.
Checked out Interlux version and it's $42/qt can and is kind of a powdery
"very fine polymeric spheres". Rustoleum offers a product called "Skidtex"
and 1 pound can goes for about $5. I opened the can and it's SAND. What a
scam!
I really don't see the purpose in using any fine material as I'm going to be
putting down at least 1 coat of epoxy primer and 2 coats of polyurethane,
intending to use the broadcast method for adding the non skid to the wet
primer. I'm thinking something that won't disappear in the paint so maybe
crushed walnut shells as used in sandblasting or resin abrasive as used in
tumbling?
Anyone here have experience in using a other than West Marine type additive?
