FAQs

Is this tape truly waterproof?

Yes, Slips Away Aqua-Safe is 100% waterproof and designed for continuous exposure to water, making it ideal for showers, pools, and marine applications.

Can this tape be used in a commercial kitchen?

Absolutely. It is durable, waterproof, and its hygienic, easy-to-clean surface makes it suitable for food preparation areas and sterile environments.

Will this tape damage my skin or bathing suit?

No, it is specifically designed to be non-abrasive, meaning it will not scratch skin, snag delicate fabrics like wet suits, or damage cleaning equipment.

What surfaces can I apply this tape to?

It adheres strongly to a wide range of surfaces including tiles, metal, sealed wood, glass, linoleum, and fiberglass.

How do I clean the anti-slip tape?

Clean with water and a mild detergent using a soft cloth or brush. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

What are the available sizes and shapes?

The tape is available in rolls, strips, discs, and foot-shaped cuts, with custom options often available.

How long will the adhesive last?

With proper surface preparation and application, the strong self-adhesive backing provides a durable and long-lasting grip solution.

Troubleshooting

Tape is peeling at the edges.

Ensure the surface was thoroughly cleaned and dried before application. Reapply firm pressure to the edges, or consider using a small amount of appropriate edge sealant if the area is constantly submerged or exposed to high moisture.

Adhesive is not sticking well.

The surface may not have been adequately prepared, or it could be too porous. Clean the surface again, and if it's porous, apply a suitable primer before reapplying the tape. Ensure consistent pressure is applied during installation.

Tape appears to be losing grip.

Check for any buildup of soap scum, oils, or dirt. Clean the tape thoroughly with mild detergent and water. If the tape is old or heavily worn, it may need to be replaced.

Difficulty cutting the tape cleanly.

Use sharp scissors or a utility knife. For thicker rolls, a sharp craft knife may provide a cleaner cut. Applying gentle heat from a hairdryer can sometimes make the material more pliable for cutting.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides excellent slip resistance in wet and barefoot areas.
  • Non-abrasive surface is safe for skin, fabric, and sensitive materials.
  • Easy to clean and maintain hygiene due to its smooth, non-porous design.
  • Durable and waterproof, suitable for various demanding environments.
  • Strong adhesive ensures a secure and long-lasting application.

Cons

  • May not offer the same aggressive grip as abrasive tapes in extremely high-risk situations.
  • Requires careful surface preparation for optimal adhesion.
  • The smooth surface might be less effective on very uneven or porous materials without proper priming.
  • Availability of specific custom shapes might require lead time.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from grease, oil, or soap residue.
  2. For optimal adhesion, especially on porous surfaces like unsealed wood or grout, consider using a primer suitable for the surface type.
  3. Cut the tape to the desired size and shape.
  4. Peel back the adhesive liner and carefully apply the tape, pressing down firmly from the center outwards to eliminate air bubbles.
  5. For best results, allow the adhesive to cure for at least 24 hours before exposing to heavy moisture or traffic.

Compatibility:

Aqua-Safe bonds effectively to a wide variety of surfaces including:

  • Tiles
  • Metal
  • Sealed wood
  • Glass
  • Linoleum
  • Fiberglass
  • Certain plastics

Care:

Clean regularly with water and mild detergent. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can damage the tape's surface over time. A soft brush or cloth is usually sufficient for removing soap scum or light dirt. For stubborn grime in sterile environments, use appropriate non-corrosive cleaning solutions recommended for such areas, ensuring the tape is rinsed thoroughly afterward.
