Non-skid update
Orion is in the middle of having her non-skid refreshed. After 36 years it was more “contrasting color” and less “non-skid” if you get my drift. I am using Awlgrip polyester urethane topcoat base G6004 in Moondust. There is Griptex added and a hardener to allow application with a roller and brush. It was mixed by the local pro’s and I’m following their application recommendations closely so I don’t completely foul up this project. So far I’m pleased. We have had a few unusually warm days but the dew has been quite heavy which caused the masking tape removal to be more of a challenge than I need. Some tape residue will have to be dealt with once the paint is fully cured.

We were working on the same project today. But I only get one quart of Kiwi Grip at a time. It is all my knees can stand in a day. Dennis

Re: Non-skid update
Excellent work Jim.
If you have not used it I recommend 3M 233 tape. Not too expensive. Solvent resistant to all kinds of solvents. It’s the only tape I use unless I need something that barely sticks to the surface.
