Customer Reviews for Anvil 5-gal. Deck Grey Anti-Skid Coating and Bonding Primer

This is not an in store item so it must be ordered from the manufacturer (which took too long). This was for a rooftop deck that I was building for a customer. Home Depot's Q&A says that it can be used on wood so I decided on this product- having done some research. I was using it on new 3/4" marine grade plywood. First off, this stuff is THIN, much like interior wall paint with a little grit in it. The grit is very small and not much of it. I thought it would be thick with a lot of solids (its not) Next, I made sure not to damage any of the wood, painted it inside my shop at 68 degrees (3 coats) and even put fans on it to help the cure process. I let it cure for 2 days in the shop. I installed it and made sure not to damage any of the coating. 1 week later and it is failing miserably!!!! This stuff is not waterproof, the wood strands are lifting and it is apparent that water is soaking in.The paint is already peeling off in places exposing bare wood. As if that's not bad enough, you can rub it with bare fingers and it comes right off! I've got $1000 of marine plywood at stake, $1000 in labor and an irate customer that wants to know why this "miracle" paint is washing off.. Thanks, Anvil

This anti skid coating went on really easy. We used the floor prep etcher first because we had a few oily spots and didn't want it to peal up or bubble. Excellent coverage for the price.

Covers very well, also tested anti-skid and works well even when beaded up with water.

Never had stale primer before. Must have passed its use by date by a decade or more. Could not mix it to an applicable state. Have used the same product in the past with no issues. Big money mistake.

It was not anti-skid,very slippery.

painted garage floor waited 1 week before putting Car back In the following day made a long trip when I came back and parked the garage the hot tire removed some paint

Really easy to apply, even floor covering, two coats did the job. Considering the primer and the paint are included in this product, this is a great value for the price.

Used on my garage floor. Happy with results. This is my second gallon which I will use to apply additional coats.

I bought this and used just a touch on a test space. When it dried it was much lighter than I thought. Was hoping it would match my slate. HOWEVER, the product itself was easy to apply, dried quickly and does have a grit to it. I almost took it back (not knowing if I could get a refund or not) but decided to keep it after all as I may find something else to use it on in the future.

I purchased this product to paint and seal a 30x50 sq. ft. outdoor concrete pad that I plan to use for automotive work. The color is consistent and required very little mixing. It applies easily, dries reasonably quickly, and does not soak deeply into the concrete the way a thin stain would. Cleanup requires only soap and warm water. I found it easier to clean than most latex paints. I can't post a toughness/longevity testimony yet. I'll revisit that a year from now!

We added additional cement around the pool decking and wanted the new and old cement to look more consistent so we rolled on a couple coats of this anti-skid coating and the decking now looks a lot better. It's not 100% anti-skid (especially around the pool) but it does help a little. It's only been on for a little over a month so we can't tell how durable it is yet.
