I believe International Interdeck is a one part polyurethane just like brightside. I recall interdeck came with the abrasive medium already added. In areas on Alianna’s deck where non dkid was required i simply masked those areas off and added the international non skip product to brightside. Then after than cure i removed the masking tape and painted the smooth areas with the same color brightside with no nonskid added. Be sure to stir well after adding the nonskid powder and wait about 15 minutes before applying. Keep it well stirred during the painting process and mix measured amounts of each batch you prepare
