Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this tape suitable for use on dock surfaces?

Yes, the Slips Away tape is designed for marine environments and is suitable for docks, gangways, and other surfaces exposed to water and salt.

How long does the adhesive typically last?

When applied correctly to a clean, dry surface, the tape offers an exceptional service life, especially given its guaranteed resistance against saltwater exposure.

Can this tape be used on a kayak or paddleboard?

While designed for larger marine vessels, it can be used on kayaks or paddleboards for added grip, provided the surface is properly prepared and dry before application.

What is the best way to remove the tape if needed?

Removal may require heat (e.g., from a heat gun on a low setting) and careful peeling, potentially followed by adhesive remover to clean any residue. Avoid sharp tools that could damage the underlying surface.

Is the tape available in colors other than grey?

This specific product is listed as grey. Please refer to other Slips Away product listings for alternative color options.

Can I walk on it immediately after application?

It is recommended to allow the adhesive to cure for at least 24 hours before applying heavy traffic or foot-traffic, especially in very wet conditions, to ensure maximum adhesion.

Troubleshooting

Tape is not adhering well

Ensure the surface was meticulously cleaned and dried before application. Re-clean the surface and re-apply the tape, pressing firmly. Consider using a marine sealant on the edges for enhanced adhesion.

Bubbles or wrinkles under the tape

Carefully lift the affected section of tape and re-apply, smoothing it down from the center outwards to push out air. If bubbles are small and numerous, a pin prick to release air might be an option, followed by firm pressing.

Tape peeling at the edges

Apply a marine-grade sealant along the edges of the tape to create a watertight seal and prevent lifting. Ensure all edges were pressed down firmly during installation.

Reduced grip after prolonged use

Clean the tape surface to remove any accumulated dirt or grime that might be reducing traction. For heavily worn areas, replacement of the tape section may be necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Clean the Surface: Ensure the application area is thoroughly clean, dry, and free from dirt, grease, oil, or salt residue. Use a marine-grade cleaner and allow it to dry completely.
  2. Cut to Size: Measure and cut the tape to the desired dimensions using sharp scissors or a utility knife.
  3. Apply: Peel back a small section of the backing paper and carefully apply the tape, pressing down firmly as you go to avoid air bubbles.
  4. Ensure Adhesion: Once applied, use a roller or a firm hand to press the tape down, ensuring all edges are sealed. For critical areas, consider using a marine-grade sealant along the edges.

Compatibility:

This tape is compatible with most common marine surfaces including fiberglass, wood, metal, and painted surfaces, provided they are clean and dry.

Care:

Regular cleaning with a mild soap and water solution is recommended. Avoid using harsh solvents or abrasive cleaners that could damage the tape's surface or adhesion. Rinse thoroughly after cleaning.
