Re: Stus-List C 25 mark 1 1973 slippery non skid

[David Knecht via CnC-List]

I did not have good luck with the Aurora Sure Step.  I had better luck with 
Woody Wax and still use it on my side decks 
(http://www.woody-wax.com/fiberglass-non-skid-deck-wax.php 
).  It is slippery 
at first until you get all the wax off, so be careful just after application.  
In my cockpit, I used Kiwi grip and it is great.  Still holding up after 3 
years.  Cockpit was a fairly easy job while the whole deck would be a much 
bigger undertaking.  Dave

You could try Aurora Marine's Sure Step first.  A paste wax that is supposed to 
restore non slip.  tried some on our old Southcoast 23.  Seemed to work pretty 
well.  Sold her shortly after application to buy our Redwing 35 (C 35-1) so I 
didn't get a feel for how long it lasted.  I am a fan of Aurora products.

Kiwi can be tinted by any paint shop...home depot, Lowe's, etc...and a few 
years ago kiwi would give a guarantee...happy or replace.
Did my cockpit sole 5 years ago, still looks like original I think...get a 
handful of color cards and match yours,take kiwi to home depot and you will be 
happy

limited areas.
Of course my deck is white so the Kiwi white matched well. Don’t know if Kiwi 
can be tinted but it may be worth a call to them. 
I doubt any of the mixtures of gelcoat plus x, y or z roughening agents will 
hold up/last as long as Kiwi.
