[QUOTE="thill, post: 503858, member: 4972"] Looking good! I typically use a slightly thinned coat of paint first, to really soak in and absorb into the wood for the best bond. Then roll on a very heavy coat of full thickness paint with sand shaken in while wet. After that dries, roll on one or two coats to add some durability. After this, you need to let it really dry and cure hard before using it too much. Bare feet for the first week or two if possible. Direct sunlight is your friend. After that, it will be a very tough, grippy floor. that is still easy to clean. Buy an extra can and/or store any extra paint carefully. I like to put a piece of Saran Wrap on the surface of paint in the can before cleaning and sealing the lid onto the can. That way, you can topcoat anytime to freshen it up, and it will blend in perfectly. If it looks light at first, that's normal until it dries. You are looking good so far. I hope everything goes great for you! [/QUOTE]
