T&T: Deck Refinishing

[Leonard Brunotte]

Toby,
If it would be of any help to you we are preparing to use Ultra Tuff Coating
UT-100.  After taking off the teak deck the screw holes were filled and a
mat and bi-axial cloth fiberglass layer was installed and faired with West
Systems 410 that was then sealed with Alwgrip epoxy primer.  Next, the Ultra
Tuff by CeRam-Kote will be applied.

We would be most interested to know who in the world said two part epoxy
paint cannot be walked on because if it is aboard we want to get rid of it
fast?

Kindest regards,
Leonard Brunotte

Last year had the teak deck removed from Consort and had filled the 990
screw holes. The deck surface has no leaks.  The fiberglass deck under the
teak was smooth and ready to be finished. So it was lightly sanded, painted
with a primer and two part epoxy paint (two coats).
Now the paint is cracking and the manufacturer is saying to sand off the two
part epoxy as it is a hard nonflexible product and should never have been
used on the flexing deck of a trawler.
So my plan is to remove the cracked paint and primer with sanding and
repaint.
My question for this wise listing is this: After the old paint and primer is
sanded off, what paint or product would you suggest I use on the deck?
Your sage advice is welcome.  Thanks
