Sand in deck paint for non-skid surface?
I'm rebuilding a 13 step outdoor wooden staircase and entry porch on an
80 year old house. I bought some Benjamin Moore Deck and Patio paint for the finish coat. It says on the can to use sand in the paint for a non-skid finish. But it doesn't say anything about which grit of sand to use and in which proportion. Can anyone shed any light on this for me? Thanks, Jack |

Thanks, Jack Home depot sells the silica sand for this purpose. I've used it but it doesn't really add much traction to the surface at all. |

Thanks, Jack Jack, Having done this many times, I will tell you how I do it. Paint the surface that you want to be non skid, then take course sand (such as play sand or masonry sand) and broadcast it onto the painted surface. I just take a coffee can with a plastic lid and cut some holes in the plastic lid, then use it like a salt shaker. When you have a pretty even coat, backroll the surface with a paint roller. Works alot better than mixing it with the paint, where it all seems to clump together and never mixes well. -- Robert Allison Rimshot, Inc. Georgetown, TX |

Yes. Note that the USG product you cite is "volcanic". That is, pumice. |

Thanks to all.
I decided to use Behr Non-Skid Floor Finish Additive sold at Home Depot. I don't know exactly what it is but it's white, very fine and gritty. |

I'm a sailor, and we are always trying to make our decks somewhat
abrasive, so we won't slide off the boat when we take a wave. Some manufacturers mold a pattern into the deck, but that has never seemed to me to work too well. You could probably do the equivalent with a saw or router and a lot of time. In olden days, it was common to mix ground walnut shell into the deck paint and it worked fairly well; they still sell the shell for use as a mild abrasive in sandblasting, but I haven't seen it locally; there are sources on the internet. They also sell non-skid compound at marine supply stores, and it works quite well mixed into the paint (you do have to stir the paint often during application to keep the compound suspended). Its a manufactured product of very fine glass or plastic beads, and feels like very fine sand in your hand. Properly applied, you get a surface that looks smooth, but has a good grip to it. For more into, do a search for non-skid compound at http://www.westmarine.com Since marine supplies are expensive, the last time I was painting my porch, I went to a paint store and asked if they had non-skid compound. They said they did, but when I got it home it was very irregular and looked, frankly, like they had raided a beach or a litter box, so I didn't use it. I've worked with pumice, but it must come in grades, as the stuff I had was too fine, in my opinion, to be effective as a non-skid compound. I think most sand, on the other hand, would be too coarse and would give a rough appearance, and really abrade anyone who fell or sat on it, but would probably give very good traction. They also sell various tapes, but I have never been convinced that they would last very long in an outdoor application.

All you need to do is say that you want anti skid and they pop the lid, add the appropriate amount, close it and send it for a ride on the shaker mixer. |

I bought some from Sherwin Williams, but it wasn't fine enough. I use anti-skid compound, sold in chandleries, with excellent results. It consists of tiny glass beads and you don't need a lot. You don't notice it after applying it, but it prevents slipping quite well. |

Let's just go back grab every post from 5 years ago today and reply to them because people may still have those same problems. Tomorrow we'll go back 5 years and do it again. Every day we'll reply to all posts from 5 years ago that day. That should keep this ng relevant.

I'm rebuilding a 13 step outdoor wooden staircase and entry porch on an 80 year old house. I bought some Benjamin Moore Deck and Patio paint for the finish coat. It says on the can to use sand in the paint for a non-skid finish. But it doesn't say anything about which grit of sand to use and in which proportion. Can anyone shed any light on this for me? Thanks, Jack How do you clean the deck that has been painted with the non-skid paint? I tried using my swifter and it just rips the cloth. |
