Slipped few days ago on deck and it gave me an idea to re-surface the area, however l am apprehensive to use different colour to the cream deck l got and no matching hue l found on offer at Ww. (weatherfast slip resistant deck paint) .
The idea is to use a clear coat with grit, which one could by at Ww. in a can. (international intergrip)

Any clear l could use for this purpose.
I am looking for tried and lasting solutions not maybe's!

maybe you need better footwear ?

dont kiwigrip do the cream colour??
highly reccomend. tape up - slop it on. done. no grit. its all in the roller.

I just used International two pack paint and added non skid on the last coat

I used international two pack paint and international non skid that comes in its own container
The way I figure it buy the best and it should last a long time my old girl is not the prettiest H28 around but she protected from the elements

Yeah!! Genuine Dunlop Volley QCs are the only way to go.

And $35 at Kmart. Those things grip anything

Yep, KiwiGrip is easy to apply & looks the goods. You can get the finish you want, either not too rough or very rough.!!

I friend swore by adhesive tape strips. He reckoned that if you have a good base. You just place the strips where required.
He argued that some areas take allot of wear, some very little so just replace the worn areas as required. Much less work than all the surfaces.

A heat gun with get them off in a few minutes, and it a few minutes more it is replaced.

I slipped in my volleys and that is my worries.

No, l am not planning to oil paint my deck with sand grit. I am not a dickhead.

After consulting the shelfs at Ww, Kiwi grip it is. Decidedly better option than the others.

Thanks for your advice!

Years ago I got advice from an old salt to refinish my decks just that way; ie oil paint and sand.... so I did and that's how I know ;)

From memory kiwi grip in cream could be hard to get. I wanted cream as well. You may have to go all the way to the top and order it from kiwi grip. They do make it'. But last year ww didn't sell it.
also I just slopped it on. I lightly sanded the red crap that was on the decks but didn't do much prep apart from taping up. There's no trace of any red deck through the white kiwi grip. It's good stuff.

I used an addative in a granular form to the paint I was using to the non slip areas and it worked a treat so you can use the same paint. Will look up the brand name if you want
