my best beer mat was blackthorn cider, a lovely shade of puke yellow and Brown. yep I had red overalls too and a red musto bubble buoyancy aid. still got it actually with half the bubbles still intact

aaahhh beer mats sewn onto red overalls and those funny bubble-wrap bouyancy aids... a golden age!
sand + varnish.... it may not be trendy, or come in 4 shades of grey, and you can't sail in bare feet afterwards, but it was effective IIRC |

not trendy enough these days. I know my dad used to use tons of it on the floor of our marauder years ago. used to rip the hell out of anything other than a beer mat |

sand + varnish or sand + deck paint ?
... I believe the marine trade have even invented expensive sand, called "non-slip additive" |

This may not apply to the current aplication but it could be usefull in the future. As a retired (thank God) joiner, when sticking laminate, formica etc on worktops or bar counters etc, spread evo stick onto both surfaces, allow to dry as in the instructions. Then lay sheets of brown paper on the area to be covered. Now put the laminate in place sticky side down and position it carefully. Now slide the brown paper out and stick the two to gether. Many people using impact adhesive never let it dry sufficiently and once you have tried to stick something with the glue to wet it takes ages to go off. Mistakes with worktops can be very expensive!

another tip if you decide to sand the edges is to use masking tape again, and build up 5 or six layers around the edges of the progrip, then when you sand down the progrip you always leave about 1mm of thickness. When I last did the sanding method I left wobbly lines down one side of the job where it sanded faster than I expected.

Good info chaps. I was contemplating a hybrid approach where I mask and prep, peel back and evostik the boundaries, then pin back down and tape. Trouble is total removal will necessitate a lot of restringing and more f*cking pro grip.

LDC use a 2 pack version of evo stick for slot gaskets, has stuck really well.
But in fitting it did melt the pot I was using for mixing SO IT WENT ALL OVER THE HULL. Acetone shifted it but it was very messy. Agree with your comment Dan about self adhesive pro grip being useless. waste of space. |

I'm with Jack on this, contact adhesive, spread all over- messy job, but that's how I got grip down on the deck of my MPS. Weirdly the few bubbles I got seemed to go away between the weekends, which was a pleasant surprise as I thought I'd really cocked it up!
