I would recommend a non slip flo coating from east coast supplies, nice up grade and will hide all damage shown

Try to remove the damage and then as stated redo with flo coat. Is that area of deck "springy" if so you may have a bigger job on your hands.

 

Fortunately deck is still solid. I guess i will have to flo coat whole deck to get a colour match?

 

You could use a contrasting colour neatly taped up?
Have you looked at the latest build thread by Garryflyer?
A lovely example of it done well.

 

In all honesty it would be doable with only 5 kgs flo coat and a roller
Simple abrade deck wash down with acetone and roller away,
Will,look a million dollars

 

Teak deck?

 

This was our big job

As finished.

during the refurb it was frightening, but by asking around we got the desired result.

 

this is how mine looks



not the best pic but you get an idea of how it can look if you did this to your deck.

thats bubble wrap down the centre .

 

 

Gary. That's a cracking DIY job, amazing transformation,,, it's very simmilar to last one we done on the water for a. Client

Done a few or these my self over the years my self, it ups the value of any craft and at such little expense it's the labour that you save on doing it your self,,

Lol nice that a pro saw a good job. Welcome to the forum. Look forward to all your help and advice. Cheers alan.

 

Brilliant idea. Was thinking of using treadmaster but dreading the cuts and gluing. This looks far less hassle

 

its easy to do.

just mask off area you want to non slip and then key it up really well before applying your non slip.

i make up my own non slip.

choose what ever colour gelcoat you want to use and add wax solution to it to make it a flowcoat and then add kiln dried sand and mix it in.

i add roughly 1 pint of sand to 1 kg of flowcoat.

i use a sieve to get any large bits of sand out as it gives a better finish.

when applying it i go round the edge first and then peel the tape off and then do the rest.

you must peel the tape off as you go otherwise if the gel starts to cure you won't be able to remove the tape without making a mess of it.

 

Who do you guys recommend that can professionally redo my deck with flowcoat in Brighton, with the boat on its mooring. Assuming Brightons out of your local range Garry?

Thinking Royal/navy blue flow coat with white borders. And thinking asap..

Or who's redone their decks in the new hard wearing rubbery-plastic faux teak decking. Saw this at the boat show. Circa £120/sq meter for the material alone.

 

if you were closer ken id do it.

if you want it white all round the sides with blue deck its pretty easy to do but the white needs doing first.

you got any pics of the deck area on your boat?

 

Garry- how about doing Ken's in Brighton and then mine in Eastbourne!!

 

how about you both bring them to me then lol

i don't normally travel to do jobs as i hate driving nowadays.

probably would leave something behind which i need to do the job.

 

Or you could do Brighton, then mine at Newhaven on your way to Eastbourne

 

Do yours!!! Thats a deck replacement where you have been standing on it. They are not made to carry heavy loads!!!
