Cruising Sailors Forum Archive

Yeah, we are a sailing forum,...I'm painting my decks.

As soon as it stops raining. The best thing would have been to remove all the deck hardware, sand down the non skid, and coat with a 2 part paint,... but I'm not. Maybe in the future or maybe it will happen on the next guys watch.

I'm simply painting the old non skid that's been painted a few times over 51 seasons, it's in reasonable condition.

Sanding the flat margins for some tooth. I used some paint remover on the non skid to get most of the loose paint in the pattern.

This painting has come about only because I've built a new glass and Six Ten epoxy joint between my glass decks and mahogany cabin(you can see the redish 407 fairing compound). A treatment I've learned from the local wooden boatyard. I'll post some pics when it's done.

That's a boat sailing in my harbor last weekend.
