J-Rob Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 As much as I hated going in there, I just went into the Skateboard shop at my local mall and bought a roll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mildot1 Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Lowes 3M tread tape! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renzo808 Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Most hardware stores have anti slip walkway tape. Very aggressive grip tape which I find a little better than skate board tape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmca Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Found a local skateboard shop in the yellow pages. I started a friendly conversation with the owner, told him I wanted some pieces about 6 inches square and he gave me a bunch of scraps for free.

polizei1 Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 This is the exact stuff I bought and have been using on my Spartan. It lasts a good while (1 USPSA season) and it's super cheap. One $5 piece will give you a lot of uses. I just cut the reflective bit off completely. http://www.lowes.com/pd_96650-1681-67304_0__?productId=3185621&Ntt=anti+skid&pl=1¤tURL=%3FNtt%3Danti%2Bskid&facetInfo= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdphotoguy Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 (edited) I bought a large roll of non slip tape, 3M I think. Also purchased a roll of what I think is called Repair tape, it's the kind of tape that only sticks to itself. What you do is cut the non slip tape to the desired shape, clean the grip, apply the tape and then tightly rap the Repair tape around the non slip tape and leave it sit overnight. The Repair tape will insure the non slip tape adheres and conforms to the contours of the grip. Edited October 19, 2012 by jdphotoguy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigfish Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 Dick's sporting goods or a scheels or any bigger sports store should have skateboard tape. I still feel out of place going into that section of those stores but at least I don't have to go into an actual skate shop. The last time I bought some it was only 5 or 6 bucks for a piece thats about 10x30 inches or so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigfish Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 I always clean the grips with rubbing alcohal and never had a problem getting anything to stay on when doing that. I've tried cleaning with other things and never had as much luck getting the tape to stay on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OUshooter Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 Another vote for the 3M stair tread nonslip stuff. Tons more grip and sticks better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MdImport Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 Wally world....RV section....stair tread grip tape...12 bucks for a roll...lasts a long time and super sticky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ap38 Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 +1 on the 3M Tread Tape. It has lasted much longer and retained the "grit" than the skateboard tape I used earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avezorak Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 The best Ive found is Jessup skateboard tape. You can order a small piece from tons of online stores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swhiteh3 Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 The 3M stuff definitely has a better quality adhesive. I found the skateboard shops and places like that have off-brand stuff (equivalent to what you'd buy at Harbor Freight). Keep in mind that this stuff will kill whatever knife you use to cut it. Cut it from the back side, with a disposable blade Xacto knife or box cutter. Clean the surface well, and use a heat gun on it after you've put it on. Works like magic!
