This stuff does exactly what it promises - good footing on the foredeck. One word of caution, the Vetus Boatfix contact adhesive is permanent stuff with little margin for error. For the first time applier, epoxy is a much more forgiving method to adhere to the deck. Allows time to slide the piece into position before setting. I recommend West System or MAS epoxy for this job, unless you're practiced and need the job done quick.
