[QUOTE="bullship, post: 140967, member: 3023"] The non-skid is a cheapo sand type additive. It's really not my favorite, but it was cheap and locally available. I taped off everything after the prime coat, and rolled out the non-skid. Then I went over all of it with the finish coat(porch and floor paint) with 4 coats. The more paint you cover the texture with, the smoother it gets. It works really well--just attracts dirt a little more than I like. This is definitely not a best paint job scenario. i just wanted it done without spending a fortune, and I can add a topcoat in about 5 minutes, so if it gets too dirty, I'll just slap more paint on it! I was really concerned about the platform being strong enough--or, rather, the transom being strong enough--to support the platform, but it's a non-issue. My first design was going to cost a bundle, so I made it as simple as possible. There is no flex at all. I can't imagine I'll ever be able to put enough weight up there to cause a problem. [/QUOTE]
