Griptex Course Non-skid 73013 | Fiberglass Florida

Cautions:
1. Previously painted surfaces must be tested for compatibility before applying Awlgrip Products.
2. Gelcoat non­skid areas need to be thoroughly cleaned and abraded. Use Scotchbrite®, water, abrasive cleaners, and stiff brushes to ensure proper
cleaning.
3. For final removal of abrasive residues and sanding dirt, wrap a stiff bristle brush in a clean cotton cloth. Scrub the sanded surface with the cloth wrapped
brush. The bristles of the brush force the cloth into the grooves and valleys of the old non-skid, removing contaminants from the surface. Change the cloths
frequently. Flush the surface with fresh water, allow to dry, then wipe with Awlgrip Wipe-Down Solvent (NA: Awlprep T0008, Awlprep 400 T0170 or Awlprep
Plus T0115; EU: Surface Cleaner T0340).
Note: Even on small jobs, long-term performance is improved if surfaces are primed before an AWLGRIP or AWLCRAFT 2000 Topcoat is applied.
Application Instructions of AWLGRIP or AWLCRAFT 2000 Topcoat with GRIPTEX Non-Skid Particles-Broadcast Method:
The easiest way for beginners to obtain a non-skid finish is to use the Broadcast-Shaker Method. GRIPTEX Non-Skid is added to a still tacky application of
AWLGRIP/AWLCRAFT 2000 Topcoat.
1. Clean the primed and sanded surface with Awlgrip Wipe-Down Solvent (NA: Awlprep Plus T0115; EU: Surface Cleaner T0340) using the Two Cloth
Method.
2. Mask the perimeter of the non-skid areas. 3M #218 Fine Line Tape can be used in all areas except those with tight curves. Use 3M #471 Blue Vinyl
Plastic Tape for sections with tight curves.
3. Apply a light, smooth coat of AWLGRIP or AWLCRAFT 2000 Topcoat by spray, brush, or roller. Allow the topcoat to flash off 10 to 20 minutes until the
surface is slightly dry but still sticky.
4. Using a flour sifter, powdered sugar shaker, or the punctured container itself, sprinkle the GRIPTEX No
