I'm no expert but maybe add a couple more layers of sand and resin. It looks a bit splotchy and I think the extra layers of resin would also help lock in the sand. Other than that I think it looks good man.
Would this same procedure work for a small ramp 0" to 18" thats 5' long and 4' wide for handicap/mobile scooter access... The fiberglass ramp i have currently has a texture to it so just cant use griptape.... Considering its for tires and not for feet thinking that Larger construction sand might be better and offer more traction....
im doing this on 2 boats this weekend awesome thanks my 2 boats go in the water in a week or so so im going to try this mainly along the sides of the boats ! have a good one mate . i thought of this but never knew which exact grit or sand to use . kind regards .
Im about to resin the floor and bottom of my boat. I was worried about working time but this makes me a lot more confident it will be easier than scraping gelcoat and re-spraying phenolic resin based paint without a doubt. I hope this gets more views man, good job!
The gelcoat paint normally dries within 3-4hrs remember gelcoat is not normal paint as it is resin based and also needs hardnet added for it to be able to cure. That colour is called backwater blue.
Do you think this would work for the inside of a kayak? Looking for a nonslip option for my dogs on the kayak while also not getting really hot like a black spray on bed liner. I used the "peel and stick" foam mats but this tend to want to peel back up.
We did this in the army on foot holds and decks of equipment. Just sand the paint 2 coats. Does it where sure but that’s constantly placing your food into placed the anti slip tap was expensive and hard to get didn’t work so well on scraper ladder steps bu the sand on paint painted over worked
I’m sure you can do it on bare ply if you wanted too. It won’t be water proof though and you would have to do a coat of resin and let it dry in order to have a base for the sand and resin layer to grip onto. then do second coat and throw the sand over. The problem with this is it won’t be water tight and the 1st time it gets wet it would probably warp.
yeah mate its very easy to keep clean and durable too I have it on the boat for almost 3 years now and it's still in very good shape. my concern in the beginning was that it would be a bit rough on your feet, especially if your fishing bare feet but surprisingly it hasn't been bad at all.
Hi my friend. Nice to hear from you. Sorry i have been so quiet and slacking on my uploads. Ive been so busy lately and hardly have any time for myself or making videos. I have started a small Bait and Tackle busyness and it required a lot of my attention. im working on a video now and it will be going live soon. Thank you for the message i really appreciate it. catch you soon. Cheers Jono
still looking pretty good. theres only one patch on the deck that started waring off and its on a place that does not even get much used so thinking I might not have let it dry for long enough before removing excess sand. otherwise its still in perfect condition. because I used Gell coat over the top of the sand, its much smoother and I never thought it feels too rough on my bare feet.
