On a related topic...what's the best way to remove an over aggressive non-skid paint on the entire deck of my Tornado? Previous owner did it. This stuff shreds skin off my hands and eats through my drysuit like a hot knife through butter. All my previous boats had basically a matte or other non-glossy finish to the decks, with just a little non-skid along the outer gunwales for foot traction while trapped. I've tried to remove the grit with a random orbit sander and 60 grit paper...kinda works but it's very slow to smooth down and I need to replace the paper every few minutes. Is there a better way?

Mike.
