Deck Repair

[John Wressell]

Because of water leakage we need to replace a portion of the deck. Any ideas on where to find matching non-skid material?Thanks

Last week i had a deck repair near the stbd fwd stanchion. Work = 8 hours by yard personel. The trick is to take down the header inside the cabin and work from below. No replacement of deck non-skid, no boring scars showing afterward. Take a good look at the rudder also. If spongy, look for pin hole size leaks on leading edge. Also inspect all stanchions for refitting. What year is your 35?

Anti Skid

Gibco Flex-Mold, Ft. Worth Texas, is a urethane material which can be used as a glue on anti skid deck or a surface mold for a thin layer of gelcoat. Their dealer is Mini-craft of Florida. 800-282-8244.I just ordered a 1' x2' piece for my 1987 E26 to repair a section of deck (from the top) that had rotten balsa core at the waste pump out fitting.Anyone know how to get a matching gel coat color??
