Muddywater-

Many non-skid patters can be purchased through GIBCo. You basically need to fair the area that needs to be repaired, roll on some gelcoat and fair again.Tape off the area. Next you mix up a batch of gelcoat and cabosil and spray PVA onthe GIBCO pattern and on the edges of the repair area where you dont want the gel to stick. Then you press on the GIBCO pattern and let it set.

After it cures, gently pull off the GIBCO mold and using a razor knife, exacto, whatever.....you need to carefully go around and clean up/cut off the excess.

This is probably one of the most difficult repairs out there. Sometimes it takes the pro's multiple tries..

I would practice on a scrap piece of fiberglass first until you are comfortable with the process.
