    Default Yellow tongue slippery

    I have levelled my shed floor with yellow tongue where Ive made a couple of ramps going up to the part that is levelled. Is there anything durable I can put on the ramps to make it less slippery?

    I was thinking epoxy + sand but epoxy is expensive. Any other ideas?

    Have a look at 'slip resistant' deck paints in marine chandlery stores. International Interdeck Slip Resistant Deck Paint, $83.95 | Whitworths Marine

    or you can add micro balloons to ordinary deck finishes by sprinkling over a wet coat of paint.

    or non-skid tapes Search Results (whitworths.com.au)

    The face surface is waxed for a bit of extra water resistance. You may have trouble getting coatings to stick. Sand back or turn the sheets over should solve the problem.

    old oil base paint and while tacky spread builders sand over, it wont be brilliant but better than slipping on ya base.

    I have a local house painter and when I want some crap stuff to seal MDF I grab anything he has lying around. Thats my primer, let it dry rough sand then top coat with what I wanted on top.
    I would love to grow my own food, but I can not find bacon seeds
