Kamie, your method sounds like a workable solution for repairing damaged nonskid pattern. However one thing I don't understand, how do you line up the pattern on a non skid deck so that the finished section is in line with the existing pattern.



Actually HPT (Harbor Freight Tools) sells a good gun for gelcoating. Ir a gun primarily made for spraying primer and has a 2.0 tip. Thats the key, any gun with a 2.0 tip or larger will spray gelcoat. The gun sells for $20 and with a coupon I bought one for $15. I has worked well, and in fact after lunch I will be spraying gelcoat on a center console. I have been thinning the gelcoat with styrene at 6%-8% styrene to a qt. of gelcoat.
