Introducing RE-DECK #102: The Original Non-Skid Pattern
FLEX-MOLD’s pattern #102 is now available in RE-DECK!
Pattern #102 isn’t a new invention or idea. It’s the original FLEX-MOLD non-skid pattern, the one boat builders have used to tool with for over 30 years, and the one repairmen, OEMs, fiberglass shops, and boat owners already reach for when it’s time to repair a cracked or chipped diamond non-skid surface without tearing out the whole deck or replacing an entire section of non-skid.
That’s exactly why it shows up on so many boats in the first place, so many builders tooled with it. And when damage happens, FLEX-MOLD’s traditional non-skid repair method has been the way to blend a fix seamlessly back into that original texture, on a small scale, for just as long. Now, we’re giving non-skid pattern #102 a bigger job.
FLEX-MOLD’s pattern #102 becoming a part of the RE-DECK line of non-skid patterns, means the same directional, symmetric texture that builders, repair professionals, and boat owners already know and trust is ready for full-sheet, large-area replacement and complete deck refits, not just patch work.
Closing the Gap in Non-Skid Replacement
A lot of boats on the water today were built with our non-skid pattern #102 straight from the factory because so many builders tooled with it. Until now, if you were tackling a full deck replacement, not just a localized repair on one of those boats, matching that original texture meant working outside the RE-DECK catalog. That gap is now closed.
Whether you’re refitting a full cockpit sole, replacing worn decking on a walk-around, or re-skinning a swim platform, RE-DECK lets you match the pattern that’s already original to a huge number of boats while getting everything RE-DECK is built for:
- Gelcoat-based sheets that resist warping, shrinking, cracking, and lifting
- UV and saltwater resistant, engineered for the marine environment
- Won’t absorb spilled wine, fish blood, or outboard oil, rinse and go
- Adhesive-backed or non-adhesive options, so it fits your install method
- Microplastic-free, made in the USA
- Compatible with the same J-Roller and Edge Tool accessories used across the RE-DECK line
RE-DECK already carries the 2021 IBEX Innovation Award for boat repair and maintenance and aids in reducing the long term cost of non-skid repair and replacement. Adding pattern #102 to the RE-DECK lineup means that same award-winning system now covers even more of the boats out there including a lot of the oldest, most original non-skid on the water.
A Solution for Every Stage of Non-Skid
To be clear: this doesn’t replace anything. Boat builders still tool with non-skid pattern #102, and FLEX-MOLD’s traditional non-skid repair method is still the right call for small cracks, chips, hardware relocation and localized damage. The longstanding method repairmen, OEMs, fiberglass shops, and boat owners already trust.
RE-DECK #102 is for the other job: when the deck, or a large section of it, needs to come off and go back on new, soon the non-skid will look and perform like it just came off the factory floor.
Same pattern, same 30-plus years of trust, now available for whichever scale of job and whichever role you’re in.
