UV resistant epoxy

Get Bote Cote from Boatcraft Pacific in Qld.
They do a sample pack that is enough to grip two boards easily.... but you have to specify the non-yellowing hardener

Seeing as you are there they may also supply Intergrip acrylic dust also

try sanded.com.au
I think his new stuff would be awesome, i just dont have a need to buy some to try yet.
looks like they only have 3 or 12L kits atm.
Maybe email and see if you can get a 1L kit made up???

no Chinook Re-Dek down under ??

Not near as hard as walking on pavement or hot sand. I didn't cover the deck. Just a few parallel strips about 8cm apart between the front and rear pads so my feet don't slide when I gybe

Auto paint suppliers do 2 pac epoxy in pressure cans, I have used clear 2 pac epoxy and castor sugar works great done a couple of boards and grip is still going strong need to lightly sand the deck a fine layer of spray is all that's needed. One can will do about 3 boards but once you activate the hardener it will go off inside the can and can't be used again.

Polyurethane clear (paint) or epoxy?

I use botecote. The 2:1 ratio means its easier to get spot on mixes.

choco said..2 pack Epoxy, this is what the product looks like, I get mine from local auto paint supply shopppcco.com.au/eastwood39b.html

I'd say its not epoxy, its paint. 2 pack polyurethane (car paint).
Not a problem as many 2K polyurethane paints are just as durable as epoxy in this application .....and I suspect it is what Cobra uses (?)

But - unless it specifies it is isocyanate free, those paints are poisonous as hell.
So whilst it works great, for the 1 time regripper, a foam roller and bote cote (or another UV stable epoxy) is probably way safer. Plus there is only 1/4 as much masking lol, mask the edge and you're done, no need to cover pads n straps etc.

Plus $15 of bote cote sample pack does two boards... you are paying a lot for half of it to go off in the can...

EDIT just read the full MSDS and it is isocyanate hardener. It is deadly stuff designed for painting cars and needs serious PPE. and OMG it is $57.

^^ agreed on result being better. I am experimenting with 2K matte clear to try and duplicate factory finish exactly for small repaired areas. I wonder about durability though as some factory boards are slippery in a season, epoxy and Intergrip always years and years of life

Yep, Boat Coat & Interstella work wonders.
Prob is though if ya made a 60grit instead of a 240 odd ,when you collide with your board the injury seems to bypass scab stage straight through to sexy scar ?? As it is said ,Go easy on the white stuff.
3 years on and the frosty lamington is still grippy as hell.

I gave Greenleaders super secret method a go as well , works a treat also.
He even pm'd me back with deeper techniques not publicly known !!
The guys a full champion ,my first message to anyone on seabreeze and he responded with total Dood'ism.

I don't know how to link a page but this is how i found it
'seabreeze green leader non slip regrip aug 10 2006'

p.s I hope you don't mind Ian

Heres a thread I did years ago. Still use the same method but now use a sieve for dusting on the sugar:
