I am 98% sure they sprayed it on Ocean Planet, and got good, even
distribution of the particulate matter.

The hull and deck color are the same off white this time around and I
didn't see any noticeable difference in tint between the non-skid areas
and the rest of the paint job.

In applying any non-skid, keeping it stirred up enough to keep the
particulate matter in suspension for even distribution is key, and a hassle.

The sense of security the stuff provides on a wet deck set a new
benchmark in my experience. We used to use ground pumice, but the Nautix
Grip made that feel like baby wipes.

Oddly enough it didn't feel "bad" on bare feet, but you didn't want to
drag your feet or fall on it. You simply do not slide at all, which is,
of course, the point.

The stuff provides one of the best antiskid surfaces I have seen, although I
don't know how durable it would be. It is supposed to be a transparent coat,
but the grid of the mix does have a slightly grey/brownish color. My problem
is that I cannot figure out how to put this paint on my decks (already
painted with white 2 pack polyurethane) and get a nice decent finish. They
recommend using a foam roller, but this method leaves strakes of the grid
all over the place. It just looks like sh.t. We also tried brushing it,
thinning it to the max, etc. no look. I did not try spraying, but I suspect
it would make no difference.

Does anyone have recommendations on how to apply this non-skid coat on white
deck surface?

regards,

Marco

PS: I'm out of the states. I order the paint directly from the producers in
france.

The all time toughest non-skid product I have seen (in 30 years of
sailing) is called "Nautix-Grip" and Bruce Schwab has coated the decks
of Ocean Planet with it preparatory to the Vendee Globe.

I was am planning on using Interdeck but have been told that is is not
very agressive. A suggestion was to add an Awlgrip product
that is glass beads to give it more grip. Any advice?
