I put this in Under Construction because it seems generally applicable...the guy that poured our coping/deck sealed it last fall and it is as slick as an ice skating rink. Need to fix this asap, but not sure the best option. More sealer with some sort of grit mixed in? Strip off the sealant? Not sure the best option.

1. Post a picture,
2. Possibly pressure wash it? You can remove the "Cream" with pressure washing and make it rougher.

Thx, yeah, this is something I need to solve ASAP. It is stamped concrete, so plenty of texture, but the sealer the concrete guy put on there is slicker than an ice rink when wet.
I found this, SolidStepCote 04, but haven't bought it yet...$200 for a couple gallons

Oooooh. I can understand teh concern. Unfortunately I've not had to deal with that personally, but I'm confident others on the forum have. Let's keep this thread bumped for visibility. Someone must have a good idea. It's either that, or the whole family learns to ice skate really quick. 
I can give you what my in-laws are doing. They had 3 type of non slip sealers put down over the last 2-1/2 years, after 2 trips to the ER for stitches for the grandkids. They are now having all 2600 sqft media blasted to remove all the sealer. ( its a pretty touche subject with for grandpa, grandma finally put her foot down)

I added H&C's Sharkgrip to sealer I used. It's a very fine grit. I think initially it was of some benefit but then was quickly worn away. Ours was not as slippery as your though.

Maybe? Your issue is one of the reasons we didn't have our deck sealed.
Mine either, PB wanted to, BADStone Grip - Non-Slip Tile Treatment

I used the Stone Grip product on some porcelain tiles I have on an outdoor patio that got crazy slippery when wet. The product works amazingly well for something that is so simple to apply and use. The tile is even non slip when the kiddos are using bubbles on the patio and spill the bubble soap all over. However it does not work on sealed concrete at all!
A kool deck type product will give it a rough non-slip texture, will keep the deck cool in summer, and comes in many colors.
I keep telling my PB I don't want my stamped concrete sealed, but he keeps insisting he has to, is this true?? I feel like he's not listening to me!
