Thanks.

(the shower floor flexes a little too much, and I am afraid it will crack. I
would rather fiberglass it before it cracks than after.)

Apply epoxy - then cover completely with sugar or salt. Let epoxy set. Then wash
- dissolve the sugar/salt

Don't do this - it makes it toooooooo hard to clean. Put a few stick
on grip strips down. You'll never get the soap scum, oil, etc out of
the salt'sugar holes.

Add some 3M glass bubble.
It is fine bubble, and nice on the feet.

Problem. You leave pits. Minimal slip-resistance. Max clean problems.

Either add sand or use the effect tyatn I was taught onboat decks. Lay
out resin/filler. Dab with a cheap scrubbing brush to create raised
"loops" of resin. Sand to a random stippled finish. Paint with
non-slip paint (has sand in it!!) Magic.

Get a heavy textured natural lambs wool roller and apply the final gel
coat with that, it will leave you a nice slip resistant shower base
that is "pebbled", not holes and not sharp like sand. You can find
lambs wool rollers at most any paint store, even Home Depot.
