Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Framework around the hull.

In shops that sell yachtpaint they often sell small bags filled with "sharp"  sand. You add a small quantity to the paint and it works well.

I've used white play sand mixed into the paint to make a great nonskid surface.  It doesn't take much sand in the paint to make it nonskid either.  Two hands full in a gallon is plenty. 
It works great....... unless you try putting it through a paint gun!

Crushed (pulverized) walnut shells mixed with the paint works for non-skid surface.  You used to be able to buy it at marine supply stores.
