HK Subsurface Preparation
The best bonding surfaces are pine and fir plywood. Less
desireable are cedar, redwood, luan, cement, most treated
lumbers, and most metals. Subsurface preparation is
critical to the quality and longevity of the finished product.
The HK Method of Application
A series of coats of polyester resins applied to a fiberglass
mat base, covered with Gel-Coat mixed with sand to
provide a protective, non-skid finish.
