511 Anti-Slip

This stuff worked great. Our walk in shower has a ceramic tile floor which was very slippery when wet. We should have used outdoor non-slip type tile but succumbed to design considerations. We thought of a large piece of outdoor carpet or a rubber mat as a solution but concern over mildew (rot!) even when picking it up after showering precluded that solution. The thought of self-adhesive non-slip strips as we have in the garage would have been ugly. Finally, after almost slipping and falling in the shower, a search of the Internet led us to Miracle Sealants 511 and ultimately Amazon. We cleaned the floor surface with TSP and a stiff scrub brush and let it dry. The MS 511 instruction give several methods of applying the sealant and a somewhat confusing step of taking up the excess. We used a 2" cheap paintbrush and paid attention to getting the liquid into all grout lines and at the edges of the walls. There was no apparent excess. After drying for about 6 hours a second coat was applied. The first coat was not checked for anti-slip quality using the "more is better" approach. The result is much better than we expected. Now, when the floor is wet, it is non-slip. The tiles don't look any different wet or dry but the likelihood of a slip is reduced 90% with a little attention and care. EXCELLENT PRODUCT.

This works! Bought for my slippery ceramic tile in the shower. It creates a non slip coating without altering the shiny tile finish. You can see how the water droplets stay on top of the tile when its freshly applied. It does wash off so you have to reapply every month or so but one bottle will last a long time.

Seems to be working so far. My bathroom had been deadly when wet prior to applying this. I applied two coats with a throw away paint roller kit to a 135 sq ft bathroom. The only difficulty is that you cannot walk on it while it is wet. This means that you can only apply enough at a time so that you can reach it all to wipe it off with a towel 3 to 5 minutes later. So, I had to do it in about 6 sections. This meant that it took about 40 minutes to do one coat. Then there was a few hour time between coats and then another coat (highly recommended) of the same 40 minutes. After that there was an at lease 24 hour full cure time. This meant that bathroom was not usable for about 29 hours This might be difficult in a commercial environment.. At the end, I had about a half of the quart container left. And I saved a lot by not replacing my tiles with the anti-slip variety. UPDATE: After 6 months, the product was still doing the job. I have reapplied as suggested and I probably still have enough for the next treatment in another year (this time).

bad product

I added this to my floors due to slippery and my dogs sliding..i applied this and it feels as though there is an oily film to it. not sure why..but i applied 2 coats. I DID NOT wait 24 hours to walk on it. it felt pretty dry to me. I did my kitchen and I cannot walk on the floor for 24+ hours. but it seemed to work well. the smell is strong though so be aware. I bought two bottles and only used one and still have atleast a 1/3 left. i did 280 sq ft with double coated....and i applied it rather generously..... it was difficult to apply since i had to do it in sections so i could apply and wipe and move to next section. Hard on the knees. LOL But it works.
