Sure Matt, if your making the steps on your porch safer, or if your doing a cost effective non slip cockpit sole...
But if you do that to brightwork thats been epoxy encapsulated, then hit with 10 to 12 coats of clear poly, it'll look like someone covered it with ordinary beach sand through a flour sifter... a buncha junk/contaminent in the finish.
Point is, beach sand will not wet out and become transparent... It also has alot of variations in the size of the grains of sand.
