Restoring Deck Non-Skid Pattern After Deck Repair
By Dave Atwater
One method of doing this is called a "rip deck". One fininshes the the deck as
normal and then tapes off the area to be texturized. Put a coat of glass
resin on and lay a piece of dry fiberglass coth on top. Do not put any
resin on the top of the glass. Leave enough of an overlap on the cloth so
you can rip it up when the ressin sets up somewhat. It takes some practice
to know when, if you rip to soon you get bad texture, to late and you have
a crappy looking hunk of cloth stuck to your boat.
