I made some replacement wooden deck hatches from pressure treated pine. I was questioning the use of pressure treated however it's what I had on hand so went with it. They look great and now I want to put some non-skid paint on. Here's the question, Can I put Interlux Polyurethane non-skid on top of an oil base primer or would it have to be water base primer?
Thanks in advance.
 
Oilbase will work fine as long as the wood isn't still "wet".
 
Thanks Willie, the wood has been drying out in my house all winter. I'll go with the oil primer.
 
Agreed. Oil-based primer will work fine and is probably preferable to water-based. I'd prime with a couple of coats of Pettit Old Salem Clear Sealer cut with a little oil-based enamel to cover (like the Interlux Undercoater to match the non-skid color). This will provide deep sealing. Then, couple of coats of Interlux 279 White Undercoater for a white base coat. A combination like this will give that wood some bullet-proof protection under the non-skid.
 
Great tip Yzer, I copied your info and printing it out.
Thanks guys, safe boating.
