    • I have rope pattern nonskid on the decks
      • Don't even think about Poliglo on a deck...

        • Because the oxidation will eventually cause 'micro-cracks' ... and thats the end of the non-skid.
          • Don't see how this would work
            • Deterioration from exposure to the sun
              • I'm not sure "intuitively" counts for anything in this issue.
                • I'm not suggesting just cracking as a concern -- rather that the deterioration of the gelcoat might be greate w non skid (nm)
