Jon, my glass buddy uses a trick little method that works well. Spray the gel on. Wait until it just starts to thicken ( kick ) then roll the desired area with a "GOOP LOOP" paint roller. The kind used to apply texture paint or plaster made of little loops of rubber instead of bristles on the roller. Its a less aggressive non skid than the sand type finnish but very effective.

Jon, I don't know if this is the kind you are looking for, but we install epoxy flooring, and I called the makers of the material to find out what I could to to make it non skid. They told me to get aluminum oxide like is used to make sandpaper and broadcast it onto the sealer before it dries. I couldn't find any aluminum oxide, so I bought some bead blasting media in a five gallon bucket from Grainger. It was like $30/bucket. I bought the fine stuff so it wouldn't sand peoples feet off. I imagine you could do the same with gel. Broadcast more than you think you need, because about half of it won't stick.

This is a good method, just practice on a sheet of plywood before so you get a feel for how much pressure to apply and what patterns you want.

Slap some Perelli Rubber flooring in there

Jon, we added a non-skid substance (looks like very fine sand) to clear coat and used a paint roller to put it on the center front strip on my Cafe. It turned out very well.

The material I'm talking about is called Gibco Flex-mold. Go to www.spectrumcolor.com. I also have info I can fax you if you get me a fax number. This is the way the boat manufacturers repair non skid. You can get it for any brand of boat, formula uses part number 315.

The link didn't work.

That Flexmold looks like something that I should use when we do my fathers boat. Thanks for that link. I got some other ideas from Minicraft that should work.
