Applying non-skid texture to a boat deck using gel coat requires choosing between a grit-based application or a stippled, rolled-on finish. For a grit-based texture, apply non-waxed laminating gel coat to the surface, then liberally broadcast soft sand grit while the gel coat remains wet.2:08 After the gel coat sets, sweep away excess grit and seal the surface with a top coat of waxed finishing gel coat.4:15 Alternatively, create a stippled texture by thickening laminating gel coat with silica and applying it with a carpet roller.11:10 This method often leaves sharp peaks that require a light sanding to ensure comfort underfoot.17:53 Both techniques provide effective traction, though the grit-based method offers a more consistent, refined appearance.18:49 Using non-waxed laminating gel coat for the base layers allows for multiple applications without the need for sanding between coats, while a final waxed finishing gel coat ensures a hard, durable cure.7:45
