Durabak deck non-slip coating?

GK · #1 (**permalink**) 10-02-2004

Has anyone experience with this rubberized coating? It seems quite tough http://www.durabak.com/data.htm

This coating is apparently used commercially on ships'' decks and coast guard decks, yet it''s talked about very seldom in cruising circles.

Some first hand accounts would be helpful.

Cheers,
Duncan

Several guys reported using the stuff on the iboats web site. One of them coated the entire interior of a Boston Whaler. It sounds like a good product and reported to be very tough. I emailed the factory and they sent a sample which looks and feels to be durable. It is coarse but probably not too bad on bare feet.

I went to the site http://www.durabak.com
and I went to http://www.sanitred.com
they seem to be the same product just one claims to be the first but I am not sure maybe people have not used it because they dont want to scuff the boat up with rough paper which is how you make it stick I will give it a try just because I am not into pulling all the screws and rebedding them on the tow rail. Let me know if anyone learns any more about it.
