In Response To: Slippery cockpit floor (Liz Leedham)

Liz, the problem with gluing rubber or other types of linings is that water may get trapped underneath, contributing to quicker deterioration. The best long-term solution would be to strip the varnish and lay glass cloth on the floor. Wet out the cloth with epoxy, but don't fill the weave.
