I found a silicon carbide powder mixes well with paint I think it was 50 micron it did not look like it would do any good but 1 cup mixed in the paint did not affect the look of the paint and made a previously slick surface non slip. | |

Any particular reason those are made of PT while the rest isn't, or was that the only way to purchase them pre-cut? Also, you're waiting for PT to dry out before painting/staining/sealing, not for it to absorb water. The treatment helps prevent water absorption. | |

You may be able to purchase paint with it premixed in, or you may want to contact a local paint supplier to get recommendations on what to use. | |
