The Farmers’ Almanac predicts a dry and chilly winter in the Northwest this year. Just in case it’s wrong, though, here’s a product that might help you get through the usually rainy season unscathed.

Rust-Oleum’s new Anti-Slip spray lets you create nonskid surfaces indoors and out. One coat of the spray will produce a nonslip surface on concrete, metal or wood. The product dries clear in as little as 30 minutes and resists peeling and cracking, the manufacturer says.

It’s appropriate for surfaces such as floors, ramps, steps and railings, as well as on the handles of hand tools and sporting equipment.

Rust-Oleum Anti-Slip has a suggested retail price of $6.99 and is available where paint products are sold.
