Annual Deck Maintenance


The top deck of KJ is actually rather high traffic area & has always been difficult to keep clean. Something about white decks with non-skid on them ~ they just collect grime that is impossible to scrub away. So usually she only looks clean for the first five minutes after we re-paint.


But I’m learning! I think this will be much easier to maintain and it should look sharp quite a bit longer. Now a bit of fresh white on the trim and she should really be popping!


The main decks received another round of Top Secret clear epoxy, which I love. It wore well throughout last season. She only required a light sanding and recoat to recover the glossy look. It’s such a nice, flexible-yet-strong finish. And we’re ready to go for another season of bare-footedness!
