Hoping some people with experience doing indoor spaces can help out.
We have a small space that is the old wood shop of a former school.
The flooring is hardwood that has been unkept for about 15-20 years. It is really slick...like...really really slick.
We have a few ideas but no one really knows for sure what to do:
1. Screw and glue 1/4 inch hardboard to the flooring (expensive and lots of work)
2. sand the floor and varnish it?
Any help would be rad!

Uh......where is this?

Vacuum it, then Mop it repeatedly a few times, soapless! Keep rinsing the mop water from the bucket to remove dust and dirt from it.
Woodshops are all sorts of dusty and remain dusty beyond a cleaning.
I'd say if you wanted to do it cheap then think about a lightly textured paint, nothing to coarse but nothing to smooth, just enough to give a concrete type of grip feel.
They should have paint test samples of how it'd feel. You can add fine sand grit to most paint. Talk to a pro paint shop about it, they will guide you.
This would wrob be your cheapest easiest longest lasting bet. Save the rest of your $$ for skate shit. :)

Coke is kind of a temporary solution though...and a nasty one at that.
Works best on masonite.
