Anyone heard of a product or technique called "Sugar Deck"?



A buddy of mine was going to do some work on my H17 hulls and sanded off the non-skid gelcoat area aft of the crossbar on one of the hulls. I'm going to reapply the gelcoat there, but I'm trying to figure out how to get something approximating the nonskid texture back. He mentioned applying Sugar Deck, but I can't find any references to it - either as a technique or as a commercial product.



I'm thinking I may apply a thick gelcoat, cover it with a layer of mylar to give some shape and press 15-30 grit sandpaper into the mylar while the epoxy cures. Any other ideas?
