LifeGrip Anti Slip Safety Tape, 2" x15' Textured Rubber Grip Tape, Black

I used this tape on my Lund fishing boat as a non-skid surface on the gunwales, the top rail edge of the boat. The kids jump off the boat, and although the rail is textured, I was concerned about slipping and injuries. The texture pattern is about 3-mm wide with 1-mm deep groves running lengthwise along the boat. I prepped the surface using 90% IPA/water and cleaned hands/fingers with the same. The adhesive is very tacky, but does not disrupt when touching it; you can remove your fingers without adhesive transfer to your hands. The liner removes easily, with no partial tears. I needed a blade as a wedge to get a leading edge of the liner to remove.. The tape comes well-packaged; shrink wrap and cellophane. There was no foreign material on the edges of the tape. After applying the tape, I used a small paint roller to smooth the tape and press firmly to the boat. The surface is not gritty and appears tough and resilient. It does not adapt well to the curves on my boat gunwales. So, I had to cut 1-ft sections in places as the gunwales approach the bow. The manufacturer doesn't recommend using the tape on texture surfaces. However, the price is so low, why not give it a try. So far, it works great. I wish they offered the tape in 1.5". For my application, I needed to trim a 2" wide roll.

We put it on our camper steps and it worked out great! Have an older dog and it made her feel more steady on the steps with no slipping.

After falling twice on these ridiculously slippery stairs, I decided I would fix the problem. I went with this product because I could get a smaller roll, the low price and it came in gray. I rounded the edges thinking it would look better but in hindsight, I should have left the ends straight. Once the edges were rounded, it made the backing very hard to get off. The paper layers kept separating and it took way more work than it should have to remove it. Razor blade needed. I had a small leftover piece that hadn’t been rounded and that backing came off easily. Product looses a star for cutability because it made me cuss. Otherwise, it looks good and appears to stick well indoors.

UPDATE: After more than a year of daily use, the piece of tape I used for the thumb rest has begun to shift up on to the first thumb button. The other pieces have stayed but the grippiness has become slightly dull. Time to replace. Original review below: This review is for the Black 2"x15' size. I am actually using this tape to improve the grip of my gaming mouse. The plastic on my mouse has gotten slippery after many months of usage so I started looking for ways to improve the grip. Most grip tape products out there are just sandpaper with adhesive backing, like what you'd use on a skateboard. Sandpaper is too sharp for prolonged contact with skin. It's fine for shoe soles but I needed something for my fingers to grip. I found these and the title said "Comfortable for Bare Foot." I can confirm they are comfortable for bare fingers too. This tape is very easy to work with. I was able to cut it to shape with a normal pair of scissors. The adhesive backing is sealed with a thin plastic film that you peel away when you're ready to stick it on. This is good because I was able to cut it into the perfect shape and dry fit it before committing to sticking it down and boy does it stick down. The adhesive is very strong as it is meant for foot traffic. Hopefully it will stay in place and not move around over time. The rubberized surface is rough and sort of looks like sandpaper, but it is not at all sharp and provides good friction without being sticky or tacky. It adds about 1mm of thickness so that is something to consider if you're using this for hand grips but definitely no danger of tripping over the thickness of this tape with your feet. With 15 feet I have plenty of spares and I'm already planning to use it for other things like hand tools and rails. Overall I like this product and wouldn't hesitate to recommend to others.

We have two miniature dachshunds who sleep in our king sized bed, or rather we sleep in theirs....LOL! The bed is quite high, way too high for them to jump on or off of. We previously used some steps that I built, but as they have gotten older, the steps were harder for them to use. Enter Doggie-Dad with a solution that will solve the problem and please my wife, which was a ramp. To make the slope as minimal as possible within the given space I designed it to fit the entire width of the foot board. The design theme and colors match our headboard and the walking surface was made from leftovers from the hardwood floors. The hardwood flooring provided NO traction on the ramp so I added strips of this grip tape along it's entire length. This grip tape provides traction for their little paws and they are able to navigate up and down it quite easily. The wife is also now happy, so that means so are the rest of us. :)

This tape does NOT work under water as stated. Don't waste your money! Followed instructions but tape comes off...

Exactly what I needed for around the pool! Feels soft under your feet

This was perfect for my indoor, metal spiral staircase. I didn’t want a sandpaper feel, and this rubberized texture is perfect for bare feet, or socks. I can easily carry my 40lb doggo down the stairs without fear of slipping.

Didn't need a whole roll, however, Cut small squares for each step. Easy to place and peel up and stick again if needed. No residue, sticks and stays. Nice and thin, comfortable on bare feet. There is a soft rubbery grit. Makes it easy and safe to navigate stairs, especially going down as you can't see risers. Very happy with purchase. Good price too. Sorry for some reason I could not add photos, but looks great!

Very impressed. I slipped off the spa stairs and this certainly prevents falls now. Even with ice it seems to give your foot something to grab on to.

I bought this to use on the ladder of my son's bunk bed for some grip. This is soft enough for his bare feet but still coarse enough to stop him slipping. I also folded the tape over the edge of the steps lengthwise and it still stuck very well. We have only had the tape in the steps for about a week but so far there are no signs of it peeling. Very happy with the product!

Bought this tape to “seal” the interface between floor and wall in my aluminum boat. The wall is bare aluminum and the tape sticks well. The floor has a bit of texture and this tape doesn’t stick well. I used some hot glue underneath and that helped to keep it stuck. Overall a good product but be sure the surface you are sticking to is SMOOTH

Used this on the stairs to my loft and it works so well!! Its even nice on your bare feet, it isn't rough and doesn't hurt and definitely stops the slip!
