: - Apply the LPU and let it cure partially.

: If you want some thing rougher, use rock salt.

Interesting. So the non-skid property comes from breaking up the surface and leaving little pock marks, so to speak? From what I've read, the LPU dries very quickly. Does it stay soft for awhile like epoxy though? It must to do what you are suggesting.
