Interlux Interdeck feedback wanted

[Greg Phillips]

I'm wondering if anyone has tried Interlux's Interdeck deck paint. Or have you heard of anyone else's experiences? I'm considering using it on my non-skid areas. Thanks Greg Phillips CD25 Linda Lou #469

I did my non-skid with Petit Easypoxy. See mine on the website. I used 5 parts Bikini Blue to 1 part Semi-Gloss White to get what you see in the pictures. If you want it lighter (closer to original) add more of the Semi-Gloss White. I used the semi-gloss to make it look more like fiberglass and less like paint. It is holdiing up well, so far (it's been on for 4 months, now).

I'm pretty happy with the results....the only option was far beyond my budget or skills!

greg,
i also used the petit easypoxy for my non-skid, but made the switch from the robin's egg blue to the beige of later models. #3518 sandtone was a close match i am happy with. you need the white undercoater as a primer for good results.

Thanks Guys for the advice. I have used EasyPoxy in the past and have been happy with the results, too. I was curious about Interlux's product and have since bought a quart. I'll be the guinea pig on this one and give it a shot. Its available now only in clear and cream. The cream appeals to me considering the hot sun in Florida. Briefly, the can touts it to be "slip resistant with a tough polyurethane resin...low sheen finish...fine aggregate,etc." If anyone wants to know how it works let me know.

do you have to undercoat or primer? is the aggregate mixed in with the paint? any surface prep needed or is it just roll-on? please let us know how easy it was to use and how you like the results. i'm sure there are many interested folks.

Check out www.yachtpaint.com and look up the specs on Interdeck. As for my project...I'm ready to go sailing and will take a chance on the previously sprayed(and old) deck paint to provide an adequate primer now that I have sanded and filled the imperfections. Stay tuned and if it blows off at 6knots I'll let you know. Greg Phillips
