How does this work? Does it add an extra "rubbery" layer to any surface? Would it work on smooth toy plastic wheels to give them more traction?

It does not add an extra rubbery layer. It is very sticky. I tried it on my shoes, and it left dark sticky marks on the floor that could not be cleaned off easily

It does on ice. I spray it on bottom of shoes, too, and tires. Great stuff!

It works great if the ground is not soft (like after rain). When I have to deal with the latter, I use it in upright mode so the big wheels are in use.

The wheels are neither hard plastic or softer rubber. They are a dense squeezable foam composition. For being foam they work great on our laminate floors and I love the fact they won't cause any scratches.

Sorry, never used it for that. I use it for all interior plastic/vinyl, and just started trying it out on the tires.I bet you can get it cheaper at WalMart though....

It is not the same type of surface. things may slip off on hard braking or acceleration.

Perhaps it depends on how it's applied, but that is confusing. At any rate, it seems to work better than anything I've tried. Hard to find something that can be applied over rubber.

This is great for smooth surfaces. I doesn't work well on gravely or uneven surfaces. Know that now, I would have selected the 3 wheel model.

It's like a very dense rubber, it may work excellent for your son's traction problem.

Even if the wheels don't roll over the edge, they will roll some within the rubber squares; it's really better suited to the feet of a stationary piece of furniture (like a couch). I found a better product for my bed (also on Amazon): "Slipstick CB845 Large Castor Cup Gripper, Chocolate"

The wheels are rubber tires with tubes. Since they are air filled, are great for rough terrain and flat surfaces. i don't have wood floors, so i don't know if they might leave marks that need to be removed. Since they are air filled, flats can happen. after a lot of normal use i got a flat when moving something extremely heavy in rough terrain. i pushed the weight limits too far. i'm going to SLIME the tubes just to see if it works. Replacement tubes are readily available on this site and many other sources. I prefer pneumatic tires especially for stairs and rough terrain and accept the consequences of really putting a tool to work. The wheels are rubber tires with tubes.

NO it has small wheels on it. They work ok on pavement but work the best on a hard wood floor.

I agree that the smoother the surface the better, but it will roll better than a skateboard or scooter because it has a BMX tire in the front. The rear wheels would be a problem only if the surface is soft. The front wheel is no different than a bike wheel. A dirt road would not be a significant problem other than in comparison to smoother surfaces. Again, the front wheel is no different than a bike and rolls over things that would be a big problem for a skateboard or scooter. Hope this helps.

These F-1 R/C cars have plastic wheels. I you want to make them 'traction effective', put some wide rubber bands on at least the rear wheels. The front wheels steer fine without the rubber bands, but I have some on my front wheels.

Hey,I hadn't heard about the indoor floor issue until you mentioned it. I guess it makes sense, as you have limited surface area for traction on stone and/or brick. However, I have used this on several different outdoor surfaces (including icy blacktop) with excellent results. I use these mostly for ice fishing, and they have yet to lose traction. Hope this helps.

You probably need to use rubber wheels not the plastic ones....just an idea.

It won't work. Just like the epoxy. .. The surface needs a deep etching before painting. Otherwise it will just peel off. Plus the epoxy is stronger than the paint. So putting a weaker product in a high wear area will fail even faster. The solution is using the high mileage epoxy clear coat over the standard epoxy. Then it won't peel under the tires

it does work to hold up the wheel well liner/plastic . that's what i hope your asking about.
