I've replaced the deck (rotted out) in my 19' outboard with exterrior
plywood coated both sides with epoxy and fiberglass cloth. Now I need
to protect the epoxy from the UV rays of the sun. I've decided against
carpet (not the best with fish hooks, slim or blood). I'm looking at
Nautolex vs a non-skid paint. Trying to evaluate ease of installation,
life expectancy and ease of maintenance/clean up.

Has anyone installed the Nautolex product? How easy/difficult is the
installation? Any pros or cons? I also need to Nautolex up the
inside of the gunnels (originally had Nautolex on them from the
factory) how smooth must the surfaces be to get a good application?
The gunnels are somewhat rough from the old adhesive.

Thanks for any advice you can offer.
