[Public-list] sailing

[Bill Blevins]

I did my best at sanding the smooth areas of the deck without messing up 
the molded non-skid edges and then used a light wire brush and a power 
washer to clean the non-skid as best as I could.

I then primed everything on deck twice with the white Interlux one-part 
paint primer (in the yellow can) then painted the whole deck with white 
Interlux Brightsides. I painted only the smooth parts a second time with 
the white Brightsides.

Then I taped off all of that white area and rolled on Interlux (Kingston 
Grey) Brightsides with a quart-can of their non-skid material (Interdeck 
I believe - in a green can) added to a quart of the paint and thinned 
15% with their 216 thinner. I painted two coats over the non-skid.

I used a roller on the non-skid and primer and I used a brush on the 
final coat of white. I thinned the white about 10% with 216 and another 
10% with 333. (I sprayed white AwlGrip on my old chome cowlings.)

It could probably use a third coat of grey over the non-skid but I can't 
wait. The paint and non-skid wasn't so thick that it hid the original 
pattern on the deck. I like the results. (Man that is a complicated 
pattern on the original non-skid but it sure makes it look nice once the 
tape is removed!)

My only suggestion would be to wait more than 24 hrs between coats of 
the paint that has the non-skid in it. I waited 24 hours and I still 
found places that weren't totally dried, even though it was hot and 
didn't rain. The next day I had a few "tool marks" because I don't think 
it was totally cured yet.
