I asked that question a few years back. Basically, you have to mold it into the gelcoat. Some of the companies that sell resin and gelcoat sell molding kits for repairs. Here is a good howto from west systems:

I saw an excellent descript/process on how this can be done in Classicmako.com. I usually stick to this site for everything, but someone here referred to it awhile ago. A section of good diamond non skid is applied w/ mold release, then a specific rubber coating was applied over that, like that rubbery truck liner stuff, as the mold. Then, after that cured, the rubber pc was carefully removed - and the diamond design was now on the rubber pc. Then that was used as a mold.

Anyway, ck it out. Hope it helps.

Never tried it out, but I liked the ingenuity of it. Seems like it would be good for small repairs, but a whole floor ? That might be tough. But, I am sure - 'where there is a will, there is a way'.

I like the Sc nonskid better, although mine is a little worn and gets dirty very easy due to the gelcoat being either porous or just 'micro-scratched' for the past 30 some odd years. I would like to re-do my non skid to SC spec, but have not even thought about it yet.
