I followed with a light coat of Cetol after drying and shaking off the excess sand. Not terribly long lived but most assuredly non skid. I "wrapped" the sand around the lip.
I've used both approaches and much prefer the sand or non.skid additives available.

The clear non.skid I used did not stand up on exterior. Started to peel after one season and the adhesive was a real bear to get off.
