I've been working with that Grizzly Grip truck bed liner
That is some good stuff. I test painted some on a scrap board and the top of a tin can. After it dries, it would be almost impossible to scrape or cut off. I've got two coats on my boat deck, and I'll put on one or two more coats before I'm done.
I'll take some pictures tomorrow. I am really pleased with how it builds up . It would be great for restoring an old car or truck. http://www.grizzlygrip.com/

Here is a picture of the lower deck I took this morning after one coat of the liner. I bought
some gray silicone caulk to seal around the edges of the deck. |

The carpet still looks good.
Sure am interested in how it turns out. Keep forgetting to go check on that canvas canoe. That stuff just might be the ticket! |

If you put it on the outside of the canoe, you would want to get the fine texture. The course would give you a lot of drag in the water.

Yep, the fine texture would work. Inside AND out! Be like one of those Coleman canoes. But, a little more original in shape and construction. Might be more fun than fiberglass too. |

Have you seen a picture of the kayak I made? It's fiberglass over strip cedar.

I built a 22' cedar strip canoe, the one I "toured" Puget Sound in. It should have been a "Two Man" rig, but I wanted to be alone. |

I've got the upper deck put together, including the live well. Next is the steering console and tighten
everything down and caulk all the joints. Then the last layer of Grizzly Grip. |

Dang I'm tired. I just installed the console that I made.
Nothing fancy. Just a console to hold the steering wheel and controls. And of course a fish finder on top. Getting closer. |

Are those the new .45ACP rounds in that container?
