see Use of Interdeck on J/30 Vee Jay decks Today I talked to Brian, skipper of #22, and he did do Kiwigrip on #22 and is very happy with it ... BUT he did experiment with the companionway sliding hatch cover which he took off the boat to play with at home ... his main advice is that you have to use the texturing roller as the stuff starts to harden to get an agressive surface. Otherwise it seems to want to lie down 'non agressive' I think Bill [Rhapsody] will agree that my foredecks are pretty agressive, he's seen both boat decks which are same, same. with older and younger crews ... i feel better with an agressive deck on foredeck. No one is worried about slipping ... which is nice. And we have only had blood scrapes once in 3 years, but that person remained on boat. I just can't understand the logic behind interdeck using such a dark gray. I also used same program on a 79 J24 ... and that worked out as well ... from Vee Jay left overs in can mix, and 1x and 4x versions of grit. I used petit 9900 skidless compound from ebay.

Last Spring I used the White KG tinted to an off white (very light grey) by my local hardware store. Gorgeous! But after a season of racing and cruising, it is pretty scuffed up, i.e. permanently dirty. I only needed a a quart and a half for good coverage and aggressive non skid all over the deck, so I have plenty of the gallon left for a redo, but I don't want to make painting the deck another yearly chore. I have used hiking shoes as my deck shoes and will definitely have to revisit that this year.
Three years ago when I bought the boat, I sanded, bleached and masked the toe rails, grab rails etc. I used 3 coats of Natural Teak Cetol, followed by 2 coats of the Cetol High Gloss while the boat was on jack stands, working from a ladder. Gorgeous! I lightly sanded the rails and added another 2 coats of high Gloss this past fall, just for maintenance.
Now I need to learn how to match gel coat to repair a few gouges, complements of Sandy.
