The stuff works great....however.....i don't know how well it would work on a surface that is constantly in the water..i.e. your platform. It is a little spendy also. I thought it was for above water applications on watercraft, but I may be wrong. Good luck. There was a link on here a while back with a guy who coated his swim deck with something, it looked sharp. If I remember correctly, it was all black. Might have been a rhino lining or something, but i'm not 100% on that!
