slip resistance

Q. My pool deck has a light broom finish, I sealed the deck with Behr concrete sealer and added a product called Shark Grip to the sealer during application. When wet the concrete is still extremely slippery. Is there another product that can be applied that will solve this problem?

A. First, make sure you're using a solvent based acrylic sealer for exterior concrete. Get some silica sand and broadcast it onto the wet sealer as you're rolling it. Then apply another thin coat just to lock in the sands. And don't be afraid of broadcasting too much sand.
