Non-skid

[seaview123]

Looking to refinish the deck non-skid. The deck is aluminum with an existing, extremely hard non-skid already in place, dont know what brand. I need something that is very tough that can be brushed or rolled over the prepared substrate. Any recommendations?

I used Interlux Interdeck Topside Paint over my fiberglassed non skid. It worked great. Lasted two seasons of recreation use. I brushed it on so it would get down between the existing non skid. My only complaint would be that it could be more aggressive but then again I have never slipped.

I use durabek and love the stuff. Just use a blue pour-is roller and walla. Easy to apply and holds up great. My decks in the fall see alot of anchors and chain, along with crab legs getting stepped on. I get about 5 pretty seasons out of it.

I used Durabak inside my wheelhouse on the floor and hate it. Holds dirt like a mofo and extremely hard to clean. Will be stripping and gel coating when I get a chance.

I like the tried and true, 2 coats of gel coat no wax followed by gel coat with with and cabosil mixed in. Thats whats on my deck now and survived its first season with 4 1/2 ton vats full of ice dragged across and a 4x4x8' coffin box full sitting on it.

I second the thickened gelcoat with cabosil method. i apply with a wire textured 8'' roller. thicker you make the gecoat the rougher the texture.

I applied tuff coat in 2001 on the aluminum fish hold covers that make up 80% of my deck it is still holding up pretty well . I would use it again if needed

I want it gone I hate it. It was dirty a week after I put it down. Gel coat is much easier to clean and holds up way better. Doesnt grab dirt nearly as much either

Just say that works great to clean non skid sounds foolish but work real good
