Don,
It depends. Great answer eh? This is used on my C-22 that I race. I used
a heavy concentration of the grit on the foredeck, cabin to and side
walk area. You could not see the pattern very well. However, in the
cockpit and aft combing areas, I used a light concentration and the
pattern is still easily visible.

Lance, Is the pattern still visible after you applied the paint?

Mark,
I scuff sanded my worn out non-skid and then hit with a
wire brush to
get the indentations. After that, I washed it real good.
Mask anything
you don't want painted. I used Easypoxy with medium grit
to repaint the
non-skid. It worked well and dried fairly quickly. I'm
happy with the
results.

Avoiding work... Yea I'm good at that.
After years of procrastination I'm about to paint the
deck. The gel coat
is worn right off in some places and is so faded chalky
and worn out
that it is way way past time. I'm thinking start by
doing the ugly worn
out non-skid. Then I should be so motivated by the
results that I'll go
on and do the rest.
Does anyone have advice on what to use and the pitfalls.
I know that
cleaning sanding and prep work are critical for a good
result but there
is just no way I'm removing all the hardware and
spending 100 plus man
hours on fixing every blemish just to paint a 30 year
old boat. So I
guess I'm trying to figure out what I should be spending
the real time
on and what will lead to a real problem if I don't pay
attention to it.

Hey Mark. Yeah, cleaning regularly is probably all I can
do. Although
it would be nice to find some elegant and ingenious way
to avoid
work. That is my goal in life.
