My boat's previous owner repainted the topside with a product called Signature Finish. However it has lost it's traction and the foredeck is now a pretty hairy place on big wind nights. I'm looking to redo the topside (or at least the foredeck to start).

I'm wondering what products people use and the results? Has anyone tried any adhesive backed non-skid applications (everything from 3M nonslip tape to Seadeck)?

I used KiwiGrip. It is easy to apply and seems so far pretty resistant to wear and sun. Gets dirty quick though so choose a colour other than white.

I used Softsand medium grit with Interlux Paint. Doesn't take your skin off when you kneel on it.
