Hello,
My 05 Exocet Cross has become a bit slippery on both the padded and non
Padded area of the deck when sailing barefoot Any suggestions for making the deck grippier?
Thanks |

I'd start by spraying on the traction paint mentioned so often here (Monster?); little risk there. If that failed, I'd lay on the usual NSI pad material I use so often; it works fine on top of bare deck or other pads. Or maybe the original pads will come off fairly easily with a razor blade knife plus lifting tension at the receding glue line. I've also had some success adding grooves in slippery pads with a Dremel tool and a straightedge ... a quick process after a couple of minutes' practice.
ANYTHING which prevents doing the splits at high speed is worth the effort or expense. |

Re-dek works, but its paint on with a roller or brush
I have been using GOOP Anti skid epoxy with grit, maybe 15-20 for a spray can, available from WesT Marine........ last years board is ok yet.
many have said the MONSTER product above is great...try that one next time _________________ K4 fins
