Hello, Maybe Michael or someone can give me a source for my companionway step surface. Right now its has a surface with a grip. Does not go to the edges of the wood steps. I would have to tear it up…maybe with an iron heating it? It looks ragged, and needs replacement. Thank you for any ideas…Lola

Lola,
I have the same stuff, looks like sandpaper and starts to wear at the
edge. I only know of the 3/4" or 1" wide strips of non-skid, not wider
sheets that we have. A hot iron could work, or tear away and use a
chemical stripper for the remains and the glue. A hot iron would
surely damage the varnish.

Heat gun will help loose up and
unfortunate West Marine (everything cost five times more then need be but they
are the only ones that sell small quantities) has plastic razor blades that do
wonders for help get off sticky stuff. Heat gun you can control the heat
slowly apply heat in area then working you way across.

Check on the Treadmaster non-skid in Defender catalog, pg. 128, or
West marine, pg. 813 for wider strips of stick-on nonskid pads.

I use ultimate sole on my cabin sole and

purpose. It tested very well for traction when wet. It looks glossy but I’ve

Try Treadmaster – it is available both in “step”
sections or in a sheet. I bought a sheet years ago and it is the cheapest way
to go in the long run since I have used it on two boats already and still have
some left over.

Go to Home Depot and buy some black rubber like stair tread with raised

If its just for your ladder its pricey
since you have to buy a whole quart. Of course the rubber treads or
treadmaster are really good for traction so it depends on your preferences.

Yes it’s a clear gloss coating. Its
surprising its got good traction. When you look at it you’ld think it
would be slippery. But this is what it was designed for supposedly. It looks
great on my teak and holly sole. Just light sand and brush on with the foam
brushes they recommend. (Some foam brushes get dissolved from whatever is in
it).

Lola:
Chandleries (including Defernder and West MArine) have a white sticjy-backed
tape with a rough surface. Clean off the steps, measure the langth of tape you
need , cut it (I round off the ends so the corners don’t stick uo, plus it looks
better) peel off the back and apply it to the steps or the companionway ladder.
I’ve been using it for years and replace it every 2 or 3 yuears, as it gets gray
and dinngy. I also varnish the ladder before aapplying . I use thrtee stips on
the top of the ladder and two stips on the other steps. When the ladder is
varnished, it makes a noce contrast with the white stripes. And it is a very
effective non-skid.–

Try lacquwer thinner or acetone. But don’t use those on any varnished or painted
surface unless you intend to re-do them.
