> Paint stores that sell silica sand for paint must have it wrong then?

Yes.

Note that the USG product you cite is "volcanic". That is, pumice.

Here's a site with some interesting products. Look at the oyster shell

Thanks to all.

I decided to use Behr Non-Skid Floor Finish Additive sold at Home Depot.

I don't know exactly what it is but it's white, very fine and gritty.
