note Plywood Raft floor--what material to add for no slipperys New

Decided on 3/4" sanded plywood or Marine CDX for my raft floor and drop bag cover. I am going to seal with polyester resin instead of epoxy due to use--I'll only be using it several times a year for multidays.  That being said, what if anything can I add to the resin so as to make the floor not as slick. I'm thinking there should be some substance (beach sand?) that I should sprinkle on it so I am not slipping on the wet floor. Needs to be cheap!!!

Also, when I cut the holes for strap attachment points, should they be circular holes or rectangular with rounded edges. Also, the edge of these holes should be how far from the edge of the plywood--I dont want to cut them too close so my fat arse busts thru!

Thanks for the help.
