I recently used Rust-Oleum’s Anti-Skid Additive on my garage floor, and the difference is night and day. The aluminum oxide grit blends seamlessly into the epoxy coating, giving it just enough texture to prevent slips without making the surface feel rough underfoot.

Mixing it was a breeze—no clumps, no fuss. I followed the instructions, stirred it into my gallon of epoxy, and rolled it on. The result? A professional-looking finish with hidden traction superpowers. Even when the floor gets wet (thanks to my muddy boots), it’s no longer a skating rink.

Pro tip: Don’t sprinkle this directly onto wet paint like some YouTube hacks suggest. Mixing it in is the way to go—preserves the gloss and avoids weird dimples. My only gripe? You’ll need more than you think for super-slippery spots. But for $10, it’s cheaper than an ER visit.

Bonus: My dog now confidently trots across the treated deck stairs without cartoonish paw-sliding. Worth every penny for that alone.
