I have a 1981 3007 aft cabin which we have been repairing for the last couple of years. It is coming along well and we are now at the stage of redoing the non skid on the aft deck and the fly bridge.

Last season, I scraped off all the existing non-skid and took every thing back to the gel coat. Then painted with an oil base, exterior grade industrial paint, recommended by a local repair guy. We then added non-slip crystals to the paint and rolled on a second coat.

Long story short, the resulting finish is not acceptable. The non-skid is not even, with the grit heavy in some areas and light in other areas. I tried to ensure even coverage, but I was not successful. On the plus side, the deck was definitely non-skid, but it looks bad.

I am looking at re-doing the work this spring, scrape it down again and then re-do the non-skid. I am looking for suggestions as to which product to use and any recommendations for application. I don't mind paying for the right product, as long as it is not gold plated...

How about it, can you help?

Thanks
