FAQs
Is this tape truly non-abrasive for bare feet?
Yes, Slips Away Aqua-Safe tape is specifically designed with a soft, rubber-like texture that provides superior grip without being abrasive, making it ideal for barefoot use in wet areas.
How long does the tape typically last?
Longevity depends on the application and traffic. With proper installation and recommended edge sealing in high-moisture or high-traffic areas, it is designed for long-term use.
Can I use this tape on my boat trailer?
While designed for boat decks, use on a trailer would depend on the trailer surface and expected wear. It's best suited for areas on the boat itself that get wet.
What surfaces is this tape NOT recommended for?
The tape is not recommended for heavily textured, oily, or dirty surfaces. It requires a clean, relatively smooth surface for proper adhesion. Avoid use on areas where aggressive cleaning chemicals are frequently used.
How do I remove the tape if needed?
Removal may require gentle heat (like a hairdryer on a low setting) and a plastic scraper to avoid damaging the underlying surface. Adhesive residue can be cleaned with a suitable adhesive remover.
Is the green color fade-resistant?
The product information does not specify fade resistance. It is designed for marine environments, suggesting a degree of durability against moisture and typical outdoor exposure.
Troubleshooting
Tape not adhering well
Ensure the surface is thoroughly cleaned, dried, and free of any contaminants. For porous surfaces, confirm primer was used. Press firmly during application to ensure full contact.
Edges peeling up
Reapply pressure to the edges. If the area is high-traffic or constantly wet, apply a suitable waterproof sealant around the tape edges as recommended.
Tape feels slippery
Ensure the protective backing has been fully removed and the tape surface is clean. The non-abrasive nature provides grip through texture, not roughness; verify surface is dry for optimal performance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation:
Prepare the Surface: Ensure the application area is clean, dry, and free from grease or debris. For porous surfaces like unfinished wood or concrete, use an appropriate primer for best adhesion.
Cut the Tape: Measure and cut the tape to the desired size and shape.
Peel and Press: Remove the backing paper carefully and press the tape firmly onto the surface, starting from the center and working outwards to eliminate air bubbles.
Edge Sealing (Recommended): For high-traffic areas or surfaces that are frequently submerged in water (e.g., boat decks, shower floors), apply a thin bead of waterproof sealant around the edges of the tape to prevent water ingress and improve longevity.
Compatibility:
The tape is designed to adhere to most smooth, non-porous surfaces. It is also compatible with other SlipsAway products. Test on a small, inconspicuous area if unsure about surface compatibility.
Care:
Clean the tape regularly with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid using harsh abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they may damage the surface of the tape.
