Final answer:
The deck temperature for non-skid application should be within a manufacturer-recommended range, typically around 10°C to 35°C. The options provided are in Kelvin and refer to impractical temperatures; none of them are correct. Always refer to the manufacturer's datasheet for specific temperature ranges.
Step-by-step explanation:
The ideal deck temperature for the application of non-skid coatings should be within a specific range to ensure proper adhesion and curing. While the exact temperature range can vary depending on the specific product and manufacturer recommendations, none of the options given indicate a typical temperature range for non-skid application as they are expressed in kelvin, and such low temperatures are not practical for this process.
Typically, non-skid coatings are applied at temperatures well above freezing point and often when conditions are dry. In practice, the temperatures would be close to room temperature or higher, usually around 10°C to 35°C (283K to 308K), to ensure the coatings cure correctly. Therefore, based on the given options and the understanding of the application process, none of the options 21 - 23 are suitable. If the temperatures were misstated in Kelvin instead of Celsius or Fahrenheit, clarification from the manufacturer's datasheet is required to ensure the correct application temperature.
It is important to note that option 20 mentions a 'smidge higher than boiling,' implying a very high temperature which is not relevant for the application of non-skid coatings, as these materials typically cannot withstand such extreme heat without degradation.
