Well...
With so many things sailing, sometimes we have to wait for a weather window. This time it is a 24-48 hour window of 60F+ I am looking for. At least I am ready.
Saturday saw 5 hours with a dust mask sanding starboard side decks, followed by a very thorough vacuuming. I went over the entirety of the boat above the rub rail with the exception of the cockpit with the vacuum. All that blue gel... Had it not been so light I might have looked like a Smurf.
After a thorough vacuuming I masked around all the old non-skid, leaving a fairly uniform thin line of white, just to make sure I left no blue showing. Using a scrap of 1/4" trim I marked around stanchions and other obstructions where I had previously painted on smooth material. There will be a thin 1/4" smooth area around each obstruction. Going this route took a little more prep time but should ensure that rolling the texture will go more quickly and therefore more uniform.
At this point I am ready to go, short of another quick vacuum to remove any dust, followed by a quick acetone scrub-down.
Here are a few pics.It's not an optical illusion.
It just looks like one.....
