Concrete Slides

ron g

Anyone out ther have any recommendations for a material that can be used to coat/seal a concrete slide. It has a hard trowell finish that has been sanded smooth. Still not slipery enough.

I'm no expert here and maybe this is a stupid recommendation but try multiple coats of polyurethane, the kind they use at the bars. Ever see a wood bar that's really shiny and gloosy? Look at it closely and there is about 1/8-1/4" of polyurethane sealer ontop.

I'm willing to bet (I' dont know for sure) if you spray a few coats of this on, sand it smooth and spray a light finish coat; the slide will be slippery as you want it to be.

Then for kicks and giggles apply floor wax to the shiny polyurethane and people will slide like the wind.

Thank You for your response. I have given that consideration, but then
I've also been told that material wont stand up to the UV rays.
