Apply the Non-Skid Coating

What happens in this clip

Once mixed, pour a suitable amount of the 'Tuff Grip Extreme' coating into a paint roller tray. Start by using a small paint brush to carefully apply the coating along the edges, corners, and any other areas that are difficult to reach with a roller. Then, use a standard paint roller to apply an even, initial coat across the main surface area. After applying this first coat, allow it to set for approximately 10 minutes. Following this brief waiting period, immediately use the included 9-inch (22.86 cm) textured roller to 'back-roll' the entire wet surface. This action lifts the paint to create the characteristic 'high traction peaks' and aggressive anti-slip texture of the Tuff Grip Extreme coating.

Goal: Apply the anti-slip coating and create high-traction texture

About the full video

This DIY project demonstrates the application of Slip Doctors' Tuff Grip Extreme, a heavy-duty, high-traction non-skid paint, enhanced with a cross-linker for increased durability. The process involves surface preparation, mixing the specialized paint with its activator, applying a base coat, and then back-rolling with a textured roller to create an aggressive anti-slip surface. It's designed for various surfaces like concrete, metal, and wood, providing a long-lasting solution for slip prevention in high-traffic areas.

Step 8 of 9: Apply Anti-Slip Coating (if selected)

If an anti-slip coating was selected, carefully follow the manufacturer's mixing instructions. Apply the coating evenly using a roller, brush, or squeegee, depending on the product type. Ensure consistent coverage across the entire surface. Pay attention to the recommended drying and curing times, and avoid walking on the surface until it is fully hardened to prevent damage and ensure maximum durability.
