Anti-slip product for pathway.
Hi all,
Does anyone know if there is an off-the-shelf product for treating/coating some rather smooth and slippery flag stones. They are getting very hazardous in the wet weather. I beleive they are york-stone if that make a difference. The type of product I imagine might help would consist of a fine gritty shingle and an adhesive.

Rocol safe step
As a side point, Rocol make a great "chain and drive spray" - works wonders on locks (they`ll never ice up in winter again !) -- Please add "[newsgroup]" in the subject of any personal replies via email --- My new email address has "ngspamtrap" & @btinternet.com in it ;-) --- |

York stone is a reasonable surface on its own, it's algae that causes the trouble. Pressure washing is great for a week, then worse than ever (it encourages algal growth, as they love that nice new porous surface). -- Smert' spamionam |

Or even just use patio cleaner and a hose. |

We mixed sand with clear non-gloss (polyurethane?) varnish and simply painted it on. Worked a treat. |
Ain't much help to you by the sound of it since you had flagstones but my
mate used some sort of adhesive tape stuff that had grit within it on his decking that went uphill a bit. There may be some tape stuff that may suit the colour of your flagstones - the one he used looked grey which probably would have blended into a patio. Pete "Ed Sirett" wrote in message .co.uk...
