Cockpit Sole Non Skid Paint???

[realbold]

Aside from the debates on topside paints, I dont recall a topic on non skid.
Some feedback on what others have used and how it held up would be appreciated. Debates are welcome and encouraged :yes:

Do you want to use gel or paint because i have done both ?

[realbold]

I'd rather use paint. Probably be easier and wont have the issues of gel bonding to epoxy.

Artie, I dont know how I missed that thread. From your posts I never doubted your glass/paint ability, but that was a great project.
I didn't see anything there about non-skid though. I thought I'd get a bit of feedback on this subject. I dont want to use carpet.

Hey guy , it is all good and yes you will have issues ........when using Gel with Epoxy.

I have had very good results using awlgrips interlux / intergrip. You can use it in any epoxy paint just mix it in and paint away. It's much smaller than a traditional aggregate but coarser and won't west through the paint, it becomes part of the paint.

Hey, I just used freakin Rustoleum with a hardener on my boat and couldn't be happier. It's not exactly "non-skid" but it's not very slippery, even when wet and looks great. There are additives you can add to paint or epoxy coatings to make them "non-skid" but I've never used them. Though, my shop floor is soooo damn slippery at times, I wish i did.
