shark grip in A/C

Question

So, here's one for y'all.

My repeating customer, so yes, I did this deck before, has a vertigo issue.

She found the deck a bit slippery last time, Washed, sanded and Oiled, A/C Amber.

It basically like a wet deck. I want to make it as sticky as possible.

So, after I wash I'm only going to cup out any furries, not sand.

And thinking, Shark Grip in the oil for extra grip. Never used it in A/C oil before.

Has anyone?

Wondering if it will even stick in the oil, or will it just rub off once it dries.

Armstrong Clark products do not have any resin system to hold onto a grit. Your suspicion that it wouldn't hold would be correct in that.
If they want a similar appearance, you can try Sikkens SRD natural with the grit. That will hold it. One other thing. We always add a small amount of Japan Drier to help speed up the drying process and avoid the 'scotch tape' feel underfoot for weeks following the installation. It also helps to minimize pollutants sticking to it and later becoming mold embedded.

Now for the cons. You will need to strip it to avoid the UV shift which causes the resins to darken making maintenance a bit more involved.
Otherwise, I'd look into a product that has something that will hold onto the grit.
