[Public-List] Painting Non skid

[Roger L. Kingsland]

Derrick,

I just painted the deck and cabin top of "Tonic", my 1962 Rhodes 19 with
Interlux Brightside.  I had planned to mask off the non skid area and paint
with non skid additive assuming the paint would fill in the knerlling(sp?).
I was real stingy with the paint (not too much paint when charging thru
roller, lots of pressure and work the roller until it is pretty dry) and,
after two coats, the non skid still seemed OK so I launched the dear and
went sailing.  I sanded mine but you make a good point about getting to the
bottom of the knelling and in retrospect I would probably use one of those
3M pads used to scuff up paint between coats.  They are about 1/4" thick and
spongy so they might reach deeper into the knelling.  Other options might be
bronze wool or a soft bristle bronze brush (don't use steel bristles as the
residue will rust and bleed through the paint).

Subject: [Public-List] Painting Non skid

Hello everyone,
  I have a silly question. Mara's decks are in excellent condition. The
non-skid shows no sign of wear after 44 years of use. They are solid with no
soft spots but the old paint has seen better days. It is tired and chalky
and needs to be redone. Every painting instruction I have come across always
tells you to sand first. This is a no brainer in a lot of cases, I mean how
else does the new paint bond with the old paint, but I do not want to touch
the non-skid considering it is in such excellent condition. So my silly
question is how do I paint the decks without sanding off all of the non-skid
and yet allowing the paint to bond and not have to redo it very year due to
flaking off etc?
  Thanks
  Derrick
