FAQs

What are the dimensions of the Gorilla Anti-Slip Tread Tape?

The tape measures 3.04 meters (10 feet) in length and 50.8mm (2 inches) in width.

Can this tape be used on painted surfaces?

Yes, it can be used on painted surfaces as long as they are clean, dry, and the paint is well-adhered. Poorly adhered paint may be lifted by the tape.

Is the tape suitable for high-traffic areas?

Yes, the tape is designed with multiple protective layers for long-lasting durability and is suitable for busy indoor and outdoor areas.

How do I remove the tape if needed?

Removal may require scraping and cleaning. For stubborn adhesive residue, a solvent like Goo Gone or mineral spirits might be effective, but test in an inconspicuous area first.

Can this tape be used underwater or in constantly wet conditions, like a pool edge?

While weatherproof, it is designed for anti-slip grip on surfaces that *get* wet or slick. Continuous submersion may affect long-term adhesion.

What is the best way to cut the tape neatly?

Use sharp scissors or a utility knife. For cleaner cuts, you can score the tape first before cutting through.

Troubleshooting

Tape is not sticking well or peeling at the edges.

Ensure the surface was thoroughly cleaned, dried, and free of any oils or residues before application. Rounding the corners of the tape before application can also help prevent edge lifting.

Bubbles under the tape after application.

Try to lift the edge of the tape carefully and reapply, pressing from the center outwards to push air out. For existing bubbles, you may be able to carefully prick them with a fine needle and press down firmly.

Tape feels rough or abrasive.

This is the intended anti-slip texture. While durable, ensure appropriate footwear is used on treated surfaces if extreme roughness is a concern.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Preparation:

Ensure the surface is flat, dry, and completely free of dirt, grease, oil, and any other contaminants. A clean surface is crucial for optimal adhesion.

Application:

  1. Cut to Size: Cut the tape to the desired length using sharp scissors or a utility knife.
  2. Round Corners: For better adhesion and to prevent peeling, round the corners of the cut tape using scissors.
  3. Remove Liner: Carefully peel off the protective backing liner.
  4. Apply: Starting from the center of the desired area, apply the tape firmly, working your way outwards towards the edges. Press down with significant pressure to ensure full contact and eliminate air bubbles.

Suitable for use on various materials including wood, metal, tile, and plastic, provided the surface meets the preparation requirements.

Care:

Clean the taped surface gently with a damp cloth as needed. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the tape's surface or adhesive.
