I have sued it on several plywood dinghys but I painted them with latex exterior paint and it is thicker than one part polyurethane marine paints. A little sanding and 2 coats of paint and it still will tear up my knees. In light air sailing solo I sometimes sit on the floor and move around there. With shorts on, the knees get a beating. I either have to sand it all off or I may try some rubber mats. O well I tried. good sailing tom d whited unregistered posted August 08, 2002 10:37 AM            Would the fine silica type sand have been a better choice than the shells? That's what we use on porch stairs.
