FAQs
What surfaces can this tape be applied to?
The tape is suitable for most smooth, clean, and dry surfaces including wood, tile, concrete, metal, and linoleum. It is best for flat or gently curved areas.
Is the tape waterproof?
The tape is designed to provide grip even on wet surfaces, but prolonged submersion or constant exposure to standing water may affect its adhesion over time.
How long will the tape last?
Durability depends on the application and foot traffic. Under normal conditions, it provides long-lasting grip. Regular inspection and maintenance will extend its effective lifespan.
Can I remove the tape if needed?
The tape can be removed, but residue may be left behind, especially on painted or delicate surfaces. Gently heat the tape with a hairdryer to soften the adhesive before peeling. A solvent may be needed to clean up any residue.
What is the difference between anti-slip tape and grip tape?
While similar, 'anti-slip tape' specifically emphasizes preventing accidental slips due to wetness or smoothness, often used on stairs and floors. 'Grip tape' can also refer to surfaces designed for enhanced hand or foot grip, such as on sports equipment.
Can this tape be used outdoors?
Yes, the tape is designed for both indoor and outdoor use, providing enhanced traction in various weather conditions.
Troubleshooting
Tape is not sticking well
Ensure the surface is thoroughly cleaned, dried, and free of dust, oil, or any residues before application. Reapply firm pressure across the tape, especially along the edges.
Air bubbles under the tape
Carefully lift the edge of the tape where the bubble is located and reapply, smoothing from the center outwards. For existing bubbles, you may be able to prick them with a fine needle and press the air out.
Tape is peeling at the edges
This can happen with heavy use or moisture exposure. Ensure all edges are pressed down firmly. For persistent lifting, consider using a small amount of appropriate adhesive or replacing the section.
Difficult to cut to size
Use sharp scissors or a utility knife. Applying gentle heat from a hairdryer before cutting may make the tape more pliable and easier to cut cleanly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, or debris.
- Cut the tape to the desired length using scissors or a utility knife.
- Peel back a small section of the backing paper.
- Carefully align the tape with the edge of the surface and press down the exposed adhesive.
- Gradually peel off the backing paper while firmly pressing the tape onto the surface, working from the center outwards to avoid air bubbles.
- For best adhesion, apply firm pressure across the entire surface of the tape, especially on the edges.
Compatibility:
This tape is compatible with most common indoor and outdoor surfaces including wood, tile, concrete, metal, and linoleum, provided they are clean and smooth. It is best suited for flat or gently curved surfaces.
Care:
Clean the tape with a damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these may damage the tape's surface or adhesive. Regularly inspect the tape for any signs of lifting or wear and reapply pressure or replace as needed.
