Q1: What is a source for a female mold to create a non-skid pattern?
Q2: is creating a mold using compound and release the best?
BACKSTORY: I have a [1986–ALWAYS USE FOUR DIGITS FOR YEARS] Montauk [17—ALWAYS INCLUDE THE LENGTH DESIGNATOR WITH THE MODEL FAMILY NAME]. I am planning to do some gel coat repair work this year to fix crazing, cracks, screw holes, etc.
The link below is to a recoded presentation that demonstrates what appears to be the best approach [to some unspecified repair method] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UpsRljqBH0o

Making your own mold using the non-skid that is actually on your boat is probably the best way to have an exact match.
Please tell us what will be seen in the linked presentation you endorse as the best method for repairs.
