Non-skid Hello all! My apologies for being late to the discussion. I am
trying to get my work done prior to the Newport to Ensenada race. Larry
asked me to post this response. Ladies and gentlemen, we have just completed
one of the most difficult projects we have ever undertaken. The Hassle has a
new paint job from keel to top deck. As I cannot post pics on this list I
will forward to those who send their e-mails directly to me. When we first
went into the yard, skipper Larry and myself obtained bids for a complete
paint job performed by the experts. Well, not being independently wealthy,
we had to compromise and have them do from the toe rail down. I diligently
researched the painting of the decks and was left with a decision of using a
one-part or two-part paint job. After careful consideration, we decided to
do the project first-class. We utilized the same Awl Grip product that was
used by the pros on the freeboard. This required a thorough education in
chemistry to say the least. With the help of one of our crewman Mike Elliot,
and his wonderful neighbor JJ, we learned how to properly apply the product.
Needless to say, your prep is the most important aspect to the job. You get
out of the job what you put in. We have sanded until our hands were raw, but
the result was well worth it. Unlike common household paints, nothing is
hidden by the paint. If you have a smooth surface, you will get a good
result. Failure to do a thorough prep job will result in a lackluster
result. If you are not a hands-on and patient person, it is not a project I
recommend. My patience was tried many times, by weather, business workload,
and my basic lack of the aforementioned patience. However; I had to look at
the long-term and rationalized that this should be the last time I performed
this task. So, against all my frustration, I buckled down and committed to
doing it right. I had some significant glass repair to do, however; this was
one skill I had experience with. The two-part process requires mixing top
coat, catalyst, reducer, and accelerator in precise quantities. If you
should seek to do the project, I would recommend not doing only on weekends.
Unfortunately that was the only way I could do it. We prepped the boat, and
then did it again. Oh yeah, we even prepped it a third time. Three weekends
shot. Then we primed with Awl Grip primer. Of course this required a mixing
for the primer too. Another weekend spent, while dogging raindrops. Then all
of your smooth surfaces are next. You must not get in a hurry, and mix only
the paint you can use in 90 minutes. Drips must be avoided at all costs. We
still have five that will be touched up after Ensenada. You can figure it
will take 4 days to do the smooth surfaces properly. Two coats are a
minimum. The non-skid surfaces are a bit easier. Again, we decided to use
everything Awl Grip since we did not want to experiment with cheaper
alternatives. It again was well worth it. I ordered a 5 lb bag of the Awl
Grip non-skid beads. After taping off the areas, the first coat of paint is
applied, with a partner close behind broadcasting the beads, by means of
punching a dozen small holes in a quart can. A cinnamon shaker can also be
utilized. A salt shaker should be used in hard to reach areas. (By the way
Larry, we need a new salt shaker for the boat.) Care should be taken to do
this in sections dictated by the water bars, otherwise you may end up with
unwanted lines. After this layer has dried, you vacuum up the unstuck beads.
These can be reused if you use a new vacuum bag. A second layer of paint is
applied. This locks in the beads. It also sucks in a great deal of paint.
Finally, you apply the finish coat, which gives the non-skid a beautiful
shine. She is a great sight to see. We had numerous skippers come by and ask
us to do their boat next. I rather have root canal without anesthesia. They
cannot afford the cost of my frustration. If I had had the time, I would
have done the job from start to finish every day. The project was quite
daunting when we first started. One word about the beads; they get
everywhere. You must accept that. You need to thoroughly clean the salon
after. Next week, the hardware will be completed, though I think we will be
cleaning bright work while on the race. The bottom line is this. If you want
to save 10k, you can if you are committed to doing it right. Do your
research. Don't hesitate to ask for help, Best regards, Steve Peterson Steve
