slat floor non slip material?

[Mr.Stuart]

I have this little aluminum 12 foot boat that I'm completely redoing the interior in, I'm going with a wood slat floor, and was thinking about a non slip material to mix in with the varnish, would ground walnut shells work ok? is a non slip floor really nessessary? or is there a better means or material other than ground walnut shells to make it non slip?

You can use sand or most big box stores with a paint dept sell an non slip additive

Personally, in such a narrow boat I don't know how much standing I would be doing.

my main concern would be getting in and out of it without slipping and falling

Good point

sandblast the surface of the wood prior to varnish to give it some tooth

Didn't find the post until today, so walnut shells? You held off just over 24 hours before going with your idea :lol:

For future reference the very best non skid additive out there is the Epifanes poly beads.

yeah, I probably could have waited a little longer, but it came out good nonetheless
