Why not just call a local paint store that sells it. If they don't know
let them call cust service.

The local real paint store (not big box) has the grit on hand. All you
need to do is say that you want anti skid and they pop the lid, add the
appropriate amount, close it and send it for a ride on the shaker mixer.

Home depot sells the silica sand for this purpose. I've used it but it
doesn't really add much traction to the surface at all.
