Here is where I buy my anti-slip tape for my 35 foot ramp.
I've bought the ksc brand since its cheaper then 3m.
It lasts years w/o glue.

You are right wheelchair about the paint with some kind of sand additive. I
have a fullsize van with a dropped floor that was painted with a sand
additive..........works great to.

Have you tried paint and then sprinkle grit or sand on the wet paint?

Make a trip to Lowes or Home Depot to see what is available. New products
are coming out constantly and there could be something that would solve the
problem. Can't hurt.

I'm not sure how to solve the icy problem... but if you haven't already
done so, it would probably be a good idea to put up a warning sign, e.g. ramp
freezes before sidewalk...
Take care,

Subject: [QUAD-L] icy ramps
Hi all,
I have a rather long, wood-decking ramp leading into the house that
freezes over quickly whenever there is moisture in the air and the temperature
drops to freezing, sort of like the bridges freezing over first on the roads.
You don't even notice the ice until you step on it so it is particularly
dangerous to visitors. This ramp also serves as the main entrance into our
home so everyone who visits uses the ramp. There are handrails on both sides
for the length of the ramp, but it is still treacherous when iced over.
Do any of you know of something I can do to the ramp to make it less
hazardous? Salt doesn't help much, and when we do use it I fear my mother will
slip and fall (again) while applying it. I'm thinking maybe adding some type
of raised strip (low profile) every foot or so, but what material should I use?
Will this even help?
Any ideas on how to solve this problem?
Thanks in advance.
