Default Slippery swim platform

What do you guys do for anti slip? This thing is like a slip and slide when wet, I`m horrified that someone might slip off right on top of the cleavers.



If Hydroturf made a perfect fitting kit that would be sweet.

Mine is the same after being repainted. What's out there for options?

see if there is a non-skid additive you can put in a clear coat. Then tape off the top areas and spray with non-skid clear.

Yes, I used it on my old cruiser and it held up really well. I used wax/grease removal before applying. I made the mistake of not putting a radius on the corners so the sharp edges started to lift. I made new strips with round corners and it stayed for good. Tape works great, end wet with tanning lotion on it, and is easy to replace if you have a problem with it.

The draw back is sitting on it seemed to bother the wife a little, but I told her it is better than a busted face

Krylon makes a spray bomb clear non-skid. I've used it in a few spot in my engine compartment and it works well.
