Had no idea, thanks for passing that along. If it goes dark and not archived, I scraped a copy a few months ago should thecworst ever happen
Corresponded with her briefly a few years back- she was so nice.

if you want to be on the safe side you can buy anti slip tape for marine use

Mmm..not a bad idea.

Thanks for that, doesn't make me feel any better, but it's nicer knowing.

I thought I replied to this but I can't find it?
I've applied some of the tape to my old Exocet RS4. I wouldn't call it clear..grr
It's very abrasive. I'll see how it goes and add more if necessary.
If it works well I'll do my Windtech 64.
If it's too abrasive I'll have to get the more expensive stuff in white which shouldn't be too bad on the WT.

Not sure how this would work. Available from Windgenuity.

One sail in flatwater with the tape and 2 pieces were lifted off by the water. The inner ones held but we'll see.

Yup. and if you are sanding it smooth and cleaning it well enough for that Bunnings stuff to adhere, then you've done most of the work (prep) for doing it properly
At that point you may as well roll on resin and pour on caster sugar. Stuff for stairs is not for windsurfing (as Obelisk identified)

Or, bit harder but better looking - matte clear and acrylic dust

I've Googled sugar and resin etc. Most of the articles I saw were older.
Any recommendations for paint on type grip?
It's cold and wet here so I'd probably have to wait for a sunny day and put the board in the sun to warm it up.
I've got 2 boards that need better grip in front of the front footstraps and just behind them.

The only real stuff is this: www.nautix-windsurf.com/en/produit/antiderapant-nautix-grip/
This shop here offers international shipment. surf-snowcenter.de/Standflaechenlack-Nautix-Grip-500-ml

Process: use coarse 200-400 grit sandpaper and later 600-800 grit sandpaper to get rid of the old remaining grip. rinse the dust off properly. Mask the areas you don't want to regrip (foam pads, rails, mast track, vent screws). As a last prep step, use some alcohol or window cleaner to wipe dust and fat away.
Mix the grit and thinner properly as indicated, and roll it on to the board. It will be as good as new, and very durable (way more durable than the epoxy+sugar thing).
