It pisses me off that my choice is taken away by rules... and people who will never use one. We are redrawing the deck plans to run down 2 sides with a turn to get the section length under 30 feet. Widening the ramp to match the required 5' x 5' landing size which will be better for turns.
If I need mobility indoors... I'm sure a WC will be better. For distances outdoors, a scooter is better.

Frankly it wasn't enough, required multiple packages & we decided the grit was too fine, disappearing into the thickness of the pain on a boat deck. We tried using fine sand blast sand which is just run through a strainer. That worked better. A newer blast medium might be better still.
I don't think it would work at all on the preservative stains... as they are designed to soak in. I'm not up on the latest seal coating or if there is anything suitable.
I have some pieces of old conveyor belt... once repurposed as horse trailer floor covering... wonder if the from or back of that might be suitable. The local horse supply store sells thick rubber mat (stall floor covering) that have a molded in surface. Durable & acid resistant.
