It has weathered well for 2 years and adheres well.
Excluding appearances, the functionality is great.
To fix the appearance, I contacted the manufacturer ...
The concept of mixing it with marine paint (Interlux enamel #1 white) was
the recommendation of the Skid-no-more's factory.
The paint did not adhere, and was just a goopy mess, so I scraped it off and
threw it out.

I hope my experience with it came across as - it may work, but, it lives in
the 'not recommended' category.

There are a number of marine sites that suggest it for decks - that may be
how I got the idea to use it. Live and learn.

I don't think a Latex paint is recommend for this application. This
particular product got some pretty poor reviews. I can;t imagine
that someone recommended to mix it with a marine paint. I
assume that a polyurethane paint would never mix well with a Latex
paint. Looking at the ads for Skid-No-More in the WM catalog,
it doesn't look like it is made for boat decks.

Several years ago I did my deck
I wanted to use a rubber paint called Decolay, which is either made or
imported by a firm in Florida. This product supposedly dries as a
rubber
like membrane that both seals the deck and provides a tough non skid
surface, and is available in several colours. Unfortunately I could not
find it available in Southern Ontario.

I ended up using a product called Skid-No-More, a latex safety paint
that
contains rubber chips. It is available in a few limited colors, the
whitest
being a medium grey. It can be some what lightened with pigment, with
the
emphasis on somewhat.
It is a very thick paint that almost has to be troweled on.
The end result was :
- I ended up with a deck that is very comfortable with anytype of shoe
or
bare feet, the deck does not get that hot
- wet or dry the deck is non skid
- the colour was a marbled gray, which camaflauges bird crap.
If appearances are not everything, I have had people who have been night
sailing with me before they saw the deck comment that the deck even wet
was
great.
I did talk with the manufacturer and was told that I could mix the paint
with a quality white marine enamel, but I ended up with a goopy mess
that
did not adhere so I scrapred it off (my test section was a cockpit floor
hatch)


I have previosly used silica sand sprinkled over wet paint, and while
does
provide a functional non skid surface, and looks good, however it was
not
comfortable underfoot and feels 'gritty'

I did use Skid-no-more on a test board and I did get a consistent colour
and
texture, but I do not want a medium grey deck.

However, appearances do mean a lot, and I too am looking to repaint my
deck.

I'm getting close rolling on some nonskid product thus ending my
life with the evil wood deck menace

I was am planning on using Interdeck but have been told that is is not
very agressive. A suggestion was to add an Awlgrip product
that is glass beads to give it more grip. Any advice?
