Default Tree stand coating?

I was wondering if anyone knows of spray coating that provides traction and protection (noise reduction) for tree stand platforms? I think I recall a thread a while back concerning this. I'd love to be able to do this myself.

I have heard of people using Herculiner which is a roll on bed liner. For creaking I am at a loss, I have tried sparaying parts of the stand with Rem oil before but didn't work for long especially once it gets real cold. For traction I have also used Skateboard Grip tape.

I've used the camo colored tape that is similar to very thin fleece for areas on my bow.
I'm sure you could place this in strategic areas on your stand, that you could clank against, to prevent noise??..

You might be able to sandblast the stand and then use automotive undercoating and then embed small rock on the top side of the stand into the undercoating.
I almost fell out of a stand last year that was iced up on the top, thank you safety harness and thank you Lord!!!
