For what it is worth there exists a water catalyzed
aliphetic Urethane product out on the market called
TOUGHFLEX. It is free of noxious gases and is used
by deck coating firms to do ski lodges and a multitude
of industrial and commercial applications. Complete
with available ground up tennis ball rubber if you
are after a rougher granualer surface for the deck.

cheers,

Philip
