Non skid repair-Anyone have an “easy” approach - Chesfisherman1 - 09-03-2021
Hi all,
My 1996 3100 non skid is getting to be more and more of a concern. I have spider cracks and some missing diamonds in areas. Some deck hatches have a huge amount of spider cracks.
A level 10 fix is grind down nonskid to glass…faring and/or glass major flaws…prep for Gel coat…use non skid mold…color match gel coat…then lay mold and tape one side…pour gel coat out and roll mold over…cure coat and remove mold.
Removal of the textured non skid is an option but I like it…but but base on level of effort to stay with current non skid texture I could foresee a divorce.
Is there a better way?
Thank you

I tried my hand at molding in this video and it worked well. Maybe small repairs would work out with the same technique.
In the end I went with SeaDek and I've been loving
it.

Emarrero…you are way out of the box and I love it.
I was thinking my job was big…I am humbled.
How are you going to do final finish?
Paint/Gel coat or as-is?
Nice job I’m moving forward with near impossible task…nice to know others have same pain.
Thanks for video too…you showed all the dirt w/o glamor…real deal.
BTW…cost to redo that by pro would be 5k.
Wow…missed the sea deck part…was excited by your video…seadeck pics are awesome!!!!
Any idea on cost?
Did you lay it down yourself?
You be my new hero
