We are starting to work on refinishing our ladder, the wear in spots is totally through the finish, and it needs help. One of the things mystifying me though is there are grooves with nonskid tape in them. Removing one of these strips, we could see that the finish was perfect, meaning someone had previously varnished then added these, but mysterious part is the edges of the grooves are almost sharp, not contoured as I would expect if varnish was put over a hard edge. Has anyone refinished a ladder like this before? Any tricks to repeating the magic trick?
Also, one of the top connection pieces had a hole that has partially failed. I have read elsewhere that people have filled these with epoxy, but I can't imagine that takes a screw well? And if I screw it in wet, I am assuming that little bit of hardware would never come off again?? Tips are appreciated, thanks!
