FAQs

Is this tape suitable for outdoor use?

Yes, Slips Away tape is water-resistant and durable, making it suitable for various outdoor applications like boat decks and pool edges. However, prolonged direct UV exposure might cause some fading over time.

Can I use this tape in a high-traffic commercial area?

Yes, it is designed for durability and can be used in commercial settings like industrial stairs or healthcare environments. For very heavy traffic, sealing the edges is recommended for maximum longevity.

How long does the adhesive typically last?

With proper surface preparation and installation, the adhesive is designed for long-term use. Sealing the edges can further enhance its durability, especially in wet conditions.

Can I cut the tape to fit specific shapes?

Absolutely. The tape can be easily cut with sharp scissors or a utility knife to fit custom shapes and sizes required for your application.

Will this tape damage my surfaces when removed?

SlipsAway tape is designed for durable adhesion. While it aims for strong hold, removal may vary depending on the surface type and how long the tape has been applied. Gentle removal techniques might be necessary, and adhesive residue can typically be cleaned with appropriate solvents.

Is the tape safe for children and pets?

Yes, the tape has a non-abrasive, rubber-like feel that is safe and comfortable for barefoot use, making it safe for children, pets, and anyone in the household.

Troubleshooting

Tape is not sticking well

Ensure the surface was thoroughly cleaned and dried before application. Reapply pressure to the tape, focusing on the edges. Consider using a surface primer on porous materials and sealing the edges with a compatible sealant.

Bubbles under the tape

Carefully lift the edge of the tape and reapply, smoothing it out from the center towards the edges to push out any trapped air. If bubbles are persistent, you may need to replace the section.

Tape is peeling at the edges

Clean the area around the peeling edge and press firmly. For a more permanent solution, apply a thin bead of a compatible sealant along the edges of the tape.

Tape feels rough or abrasive

This is unlikely with SlipsAway, as it's designed to be non-abrasive. Ensure you have the correct SlipsAway product. If you are experiencing discomfort, check if the tape was applied over a rough surface, which might affect the feel.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Clean Surface: Thoroughly clean the application area. Remove all dirt, grease, and moisture. For optimal results on porous surfaces like wood or concrete, consider applying a suitable primer first.
  2. Cut to Size: Measure and cut the tape to the desired dimensions using sharp scissors or a utility knife.
  3. Apply Tape: Peel off the backing and carefully apply the tape to the prepared surface, pressing firmly from the center outwards to eliminate air bubbles.
  4. Seal Edges: For high-traffic or very wet areas, it is recommended to seal the edges of the tape with a compatible sealant to prevent water ingress and ensure long-term adhesion.

Compatibility:

Slips Away tape adheres well to most clean, smooth, and non-porous surfaces including tile, fiberglass, sealed wood, metal, and concrete. It is also compatible with other SlipsAway products for a complete safety solution.

Care:

Clean the tape regularly with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the surface or the tape's adhesive.
