Anti slip

JSP · 31 March 2009, 22:20

Any advice on anti slip deck covering? Don't really want to mess about with non slip paints.
Treadmaster looks good but are there any others?

Treadmaster is by far the most popular. However TBS is very popular for charter, race yachts etc as it is hardwearing. I think it can be pricy. I was recently on a 60ft Whitbread and 60ft Clipper that had TBS cut to shape, glue down then a bead of Sikaflex 291 applied around the edge. The finish was second to none, and veryyyy grippy,

Hope this helps,

Treadmaster is very good. I have fully covered the deck on all my RIBs and it seems to last forever and take a huge amount of abuse.
The only drawback is that is a bit fiddly to apply and somewhat expensive, looks good though!

My Family's boats have treadmaster on them, steps to fly bridge but my brothers sailer is covered in the stuff. My problem with treadmaster (all though it's very good) is the colours.
Remember this is an old searider. Have seen this stuff that comes as a tape. No good for doing the whole deck but wondered if anyone sold sheets of it?

They sell some spray adhesive to stick it down with which is really easy to use and the job is done in minutes.

I seem to remember last year a 1.2m x 0.8m sheet costing around £35. I would spend the money and use the two part epoxy though.
Black and light grey are fine for colours although some of the others are a bit odd.
