"very fine polymeric spheres". Rustoleum offers a product called "Skidtex"
and 1 pound can goes for about $5. I opened the can and it's SAND. What a
scam!
I really don't see the purpose in using any fine material as I'm going to be
putting down at least 1 coat of epoxy primer and 2 coats of polyurethane,
intending to use the broadcast method for adding the non skid to the wet
primer. I'm thinking something that won't disappear in the paint so maybe
crushed walnut shells as used in sandblasting or resin abrasive as used in
tumbling?
Anyone here have experience in using a other than West Marine type additive?

Beach sand works well, as good as anything. It's well rounded so doesn't skin you, like sandblasting sand can, and doesn't wear out, like softer materials do. Been using it for decades. No problem. Paint first, then sprinkle it on with a salt shaker. Then, after it dries , give it a second coat.

Bionaturae has additive free tomatoes bonus is that they use bottles for the strained and paste........They are available through UNFI, I think. I know that Whole foods carries them, as well as several other place online like Tropical Traditions.
