FAQs

Is this tape suitable for general household use?

While durable, this tape is specifically engineered for harsh marine environments and saltwater resistance. For general household use, other Slips Away products might be more appropriate.

How long will the tape last?

When applied correctly to a clean, dry surface, it offers an exceptional service life, especially in marine conditions where its salt-resistant properties are most beneficial.

Can I use this tape on slippery vinyl boat seats?

This tape is designed for hard surfaces. For flexible or soft surfaces like vinyl seats, its adhesion and effectiveness may be compromised. Test in an inconspicuous area first.

What is the temperature range for application?

For optimal adhesion, it is recommended to apply the tape in temperatures between 50°F and 95°F (10°C and 35°C). Avoid applying to surfaces that are extremely hot or cold.

Does the tape lose its grip when completely submerged?

The tape is designed for wet conditions but not prolonged submersion without proper edge sealing. Its primary function is to provide grip on surfaces that get wet, not as a submerged anti-slip solution.

How do I remove the tape if needed?

To remove, slowly peel the tape back at a sharp angle. You can use a heat gun on a low setting to soften the adhesive, making removal easier. Clean any residue with an appropriate cleaner.

Troubleshooting

Tape is not sticking well.

Ensure the surface was completely clean, dry, and free of contaminants before application. Reapply pressure to the tape, paying attention to the edges. If adhesion failure persists, the surface may require a primer or the tape may need to be replaced.

Bubbles under the tape.

Carefully lift the edge of the tape and reapply, smoothing out the bubble as you go. For small bubbles that cannot be smoothed, a pinhole can be made to release air, but this may compromise water resistance.

Tape edges peeling after exposure to water.

Ensure edges were pressed down firmly during application. For critical areas, consider sealing the edges with a marine-grade sealant after application to prevent water ingress.

Surface shows residue after tape removal.

Use a mild adhesive remover or rubbing alcohol to gently clean away any residue. Test removers on an inconspicuous area first.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent saltwater resistance, ideal for marine use.
  • Strong adhesion ensures longevity when applied correctly.
  • Designed to withstand harsh environmental conditions.
  • Provides reliable non-slip protection on wet surfaces.

Cons

  • Requires proper surface preparation for optimal adhesion.
  • May be less suitable for extremely high-traffic indoor areas compared to specialized indoor tapes.
  • Initial cost might be higher than basic anti-slip solutions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Clean the surface: Ensure the application area is thoroughly clean, dry, and free from grease, oil, or dirt. Use a marine-grade cleaner if necessary 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 the tape: Peel back a small section of the backing paper and carefully position the tape. Apply firm, even pressure as you lay down the tape, working from the center outwards to avoid air bubbles.
  4. Ensure adhesion: Once applied, press down firmly along the entire surface, especially the edges, to ensure a strong bond.

Compatibility:

This tape is compatible with most common marine surfaces, including fiberglass, aluminum, wood, and painted surfaces, provided they are clean and dry. It is specifically engineered for marine environments and is not recommended for prolonged submersion without proper edge sealing.

Care:

Regularly inspect the applied tape for any signs of lifting or damage. Clean with mild soap and water; avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could degrade the adhesive or the tape surface.
