[Rhodes22-list] Paint questions

[daniel snyder]

Mary Lou,

With plenty of sadness I took Lady Grace out of our lake yesterday and spend 
much of today scrubbing the deck and cockpit.  The most recent issue of 
Practical Sailor covered a test of non skid protectants.  The outright 
winner was a product called Woody Wax.  You apply it to clean decks, wet or 
dry.  Wait 30 minutes and rinse with water and buff with a clean cloth.  The 
test showed that all skid resistance was retained and subsequent dirt 
literally washed off with a hose down versus the typical scrubbing.  I 
ordered some directly from the Woody Wax website and will apply it this 
week.  Anyhow, the write-up was quite complimentary.
