was the kiwi grip easy to work with??
How much did you use...also looks like you really put a thick layer of kiwi on....do you think you can you go barefoot on the boat or is it too rough??? Still debating kiwi but dont want my son's feet to get sore!

As a whole, kiwigrip seems ok. The hardest issue is roughing up the surfaces at the edges where its taped off. You definitely gain a lot of time doing it indoors or when its cool outside. The sun cooks it pretty quickly. Another issue I found is variances in grip/texture when working over large areas. When one portion starts to set and one area is fresh, the roller raises up the paint considerably more on the tacky part as opposed the fresh part. It wouldn't be any problem to quickly roll on another coat either if you weren't happy with the results. If I try, I can dig up some edges of the paint with my nail, so I dont think pressure washing is in the question, ever. I used 120grit and 80 grit paper to rough up the areas. I used almost an entire gallon to do what is shown in the pictures.
