Hey guys, I'm sorry it's taken me so long to answer. I had a drama weekend and had to deal with a cat with cancer I'm trying to save. It really makes me screaming mad when people just drop off sick animals and treat them like trash. These are loving pets. They don't understand.
Back to the product.
I bought from flex mold, actually another division who sells retail, a female mold that has the same non skid pattern as Nordhavn which is their number 103. They sell the mold by the sq ft at $19.00 and a whole sheet is less which is 4' x 12'. I bought a 4' x 5' piece because there isn't and area larger than 5' where I need non skid.

They have every brand of boats non skid pattern however 103 happens to be used by more brands than any other and it looks great too.
The epoxy resin was a miracle find for me. I have been searching for gel coat or tinted epoxy and found a southern CA company that has been selling to aerospace and military. His epoxy is in outer space. This gel coat can withstand a temp range from -100 to 100 C. It's stronger than most epoxies, a very slow cure and after it sets up until finally cured, it has flex so it can be applied to a curved deck with my application technique.
I work with the owner, Ray
Welcome to Polymer Composites Inc.
They have videos of their product. They ship worldwide I think. It's amazing stuff.
I'm going to tell these people I posted this so they will be aware of any inquiries and please mention my name. NO, I'm not a sales rep nor do I get any kickback, just simply I am so happy with their products I told them I'd help them get the word out and I hope you mention me, Stretch, when you contact them.
I like the gel coat so much I'm going to gel coat everything from the hull up. It's actually less expensive than LP paint. Sterling, Awlgrip or Alex Seal. The shine is incredible. Just roll it, no tipping. Any sags or runs just sand with 400, 600, and higher, then buff to a shine. It's a dream to work with.
Just get a food scale and weigh accurately or use graduated cups, which I am. AND, don't mix too much at once. I did and lost 8 oz. It's thin and rolls on easy. It covers a lot more than West System which was my mistake.
As I complete more of this project, I'll post with my technique.
Cheers!!
