[Public-List] Repainting the Deck and Original Non-skid

[Jonathan Bresler]

Mike,

Sounds great.  Would like to see Merinaut.  Should I give you a call
Thursday?
Just watched a couple KiwiGrip videos on YouTube.
Looks easy to apply.  Water based makes clean up easier.

On Gilleleje, what are you using for the smooth areas, the areas without
non-skid coating?

Jonathan
