Has anyone use Mas Epoxy non-skid repair or any of the other non-skid repiar products out there? Looking at their website (link below) I can't tell which pattern will match and the folks at Mas are not sure either.
Thanks!

The outfit that makes those patterns is out of Texas. They have a kit of swatches that you match up with what you have. Somewhere I may still have the swatches, the queation is where. I did a large repair on a J-22 and it came out pretty well. The smaller the repair the better off you will be. I will look for the swatches and hopefully find them and let you know what my deck number is.

The non-skid rehabilitation is next on the agenda for Phantom. I recently painted her topsides with Interlux Perfection. I will paint the decks with Interlux Epoxykote Primer and then two coats of Perfection, the first coat (non-skid areas) with Awlgrip coarse polybeads non-skid additive and a second coat to better seal the non-skid. I am not going to try to repeat the existing non-skid pattern.
My local boatyard recommended Flex-Mold from MAS Epoxies. On their website, MAS lists pattern #312 as a match for "Pierson" non-skid. (http://www.masepoxies.com/ (http://www.masepoxies.com/))
I was able to confirm that #312 is an "interwoven" pattern with multiple strands visible on the diagonal - which sound like my 1981 deck. I plan to order it and will report back if it is a match.
Well you did better than I did but I am not giving up. I just don't throw stuff out like that!

Yep - the MAS Epoxy pattern #312 seems right since it "locks" into the existing non-skid pattern. I will take some before & after photos of my small repair job. If the results are not too embarasing, I will post online.
Cheers!
Found em!
Cleaning out the basement and out they came. I will see if the patterns match.
