Nonslip Finish on Maple Bench top - Shovel Man - 05-31-2016
Wandered into a Wooden Boat Forum and found them discussing adding walnut shells or rubber bits to make decks less slippery. Any experience with these?

If you're talking about workbenches, some craftsmen work the surface with toothing planes. I don't have a wooden bench top, but Masonite, so it doesn't matter to me.

Out here, the commercial sportfishing boats just throw sand in the wet deck paint. Not what I would want on a bench top.

There are nonslip marine finishes. Jamestown distributers has a number of different products like http://www.jamestowndistributors.com/use...-Skid+Additive. Whether or not they will do whatever it is that you want I can't say ; but it seems unlikely.

Sorry. I don't know how I read that wrong.

Instead of searching for a non-skid finish, consider using shelf lining material which is thin neopream/rubber and perforated. My wife bought a roll, not sure where, and one day I used a piece to stabilize a panel I was sanding. Works like a champ and ---- when I'm done, I roll it up and put it away until next time.
