Kiwi Grip
We've tried both exterior masonry paint and International Interdeck on our Konsort. Of the two Interdeck was the better finish and seemed harder than the masonry paint which picked up dirt easier and seemed softer getting scratched easier.
So time to give Kiwigip a go. It's expensive stuff so I wanted to try it out first before commiting to it. I used an offcut of furniture board which had a slightly textured surface not too dissimilar to the masonry paint we would be covering.
I made a spreader out of on an old plastic card with 3mm notches one side and 6mm the other. The Kiwigrip instructions mention using the 6mm spreader to get deeper peaks and valleys to get a very aggressive finish.
