Deck Non stick

[LadyInBed]

once it got mucky it was very hard to keep clean.
My boat is kept in a mud berth, so if you're on a mooring or in a marina you'll probably fare better.

If I did it again then I'd use non skid particles in a 2 pack paint system.

Total agreement.
That was one point I didn't mention - My boat is kept on a riverside mooring, so gets washed down with river water 90% of the time.

Our Sadler came with moulded non-slip decks that were also painted. Not sure if this was original but it predates our purchase of the boat almost 30 years ago. Needing freshening up I painted International Interdeck prior to the 2019 season. It looked good. We then left the boat ashore in Greece, as it transpired for three years. As expected it was horrendously dirty on our return in September this year but a hosepipe and brush has totally restored it. Very happy with it except for a couple of areas where the winter cockpit cover has rubbed it. Easily remedied

Apologies to you and others, I thought this was one of their 'advertorials' and available to all.

I used white Kiwi Grip on the cockpit floor, marina berthed. Guess other colours are less prone to looking dirty.

Easy to apply, Youghurt'ish creamy, nicely solves spider cracks. It is easy to make the surface more or less coarse/smooth with the roller used when applying (different rolls, and different shaping of the surface by going over it repeatedly).

The product is completely even, no sand or anything in it - the non-skid comes from the surface you shape and let cure. Much like the structure paint that was deemed fancy decades ago.

Videos mention this but I'd suggest you test it. If you like it can be made as even as Topcoat or Gelcoat.
