Slippery Floor

[nobl13]

Hey guys, we're doing a production of God Of Carnage and, I never thought I would say this... the vomit is making the floor slippery. Currently, the stage has a coat of Behr Enamel paint on it. Is there any way to give the floor a bit more tack that doesn't involve completely repainting the stage?

Before-hand, the tricks I'm aware of include mixing sand into your paint, and staying far, far away from anything with a gloss or semi-gloss finish (fluids make these incredibly slippery).

After-the-fact, I have not personally tried this but you may have luck with a nonskid treatment such as one of these: http://www.noskidsafety.com/images/pdf/anti-slip-coatings-floor-care-catalog2013.pdf

Designed for it. 40 years ago when hosting dance companies at SUNY Potsdam we used Coke-cola - a can in a mop bucket - and seemed to be good.

Coke in a Hudson spayer and a broom with a towel wrapped around it. I don't like killing a mop head for this or trying to get the sugar out of a bucket.

Slip-no-mor is another purpose-made mop-on product meant for dance floors.

Quick followup: The sand trick worked phenomenally and nobody else slipped in the vomit. Thanks all!
