<div dir="ltr">Hi Michael<div><br></div><div>I actually did that on a previous sailboat deck and it worked great after all the loose sand had finally was gone but I don't want to paint the wood as it is teak. I think the surface is rough enough as is though it would not be the case if I had varnished it.</div><div>Rick</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Mon, Jul 6, 2020 at 10:06 AM Michael Holt via Personal_Submersibles <<a href="mailto:personal_submersibles@psubs.org">personal_submersibles@psubs.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">An old sailors' trick for creating non-skid is to paint the deck and <br>

down with fresh water. The salt dissolves and the deck ends up with <br>
tiny fissures that make it hard to slip.<br>

I've never known anyone who actually did it.<br>
