non skid gone

[nymack66]

Don't roll it, spray it its easy use a cheap HLVP spray gun with a 2mm tip to shoot it. The steps you mentioned is perfect non wax first, then waxed on the final shoot. You then use the same gun and shoot glass beads generously into the wet gel it sets perfectly.
Here is picture of my deck done this way during my restore, the glass is not hard on bare feet which is perfect, also provides excellent none skid surface.

I have left over glass beads if you are interested I can send you enough for your project .
