Anybody have experience using it on the rails of a stand up paddle board? Does it have a sticky adhesive or is it applied the same as helicopter tape?

Doug, Sorry to say I have no experience with paddle boards. This product is like putting a layer of very clear plastic over a surface and you really do not know it is there. It holds up well for scratches and such. It could be pretty slippery if wet, I would think. It is not really sticky with adhesive, it uses a light soapy solution that activates the adhesive but you can slide the product around for fit. It bonds with the original surface until you wish to peel it off at a future time. Hope this helps.

Hi Melissa. Great question. The adhesive tape needs to stay in place. It is designed to stay in place while training. Simply clean the front and if needed wipe the area around with a sponge.

Yes. My son has had jus board for a month and so far the grip tape is not peeling.

hi..to be honest with you, i did not peel the adhesive, its heavy enough and my dashboard is wide and kinda steep enough of a surface, it very rarely and slightly tips off, especially if you want to remove it for many different reasons, you better off just not to peel off the adhesive, but you really want to peel off the adhesive, remember, it will leave a mark after sometimes, its inevitable,

Hello, It seems to me it would even stick better to something that was already a little grippy. There is a version of the tape though that is extra strong and even washable designed for putting on clothes although I have never used it. Regarding this tape, I've used it to label containers and file folders but not something that would be frequently handled like a telephone.

It has very fine grip tape but only covers the middle of the board not from tip to tail. It was a good board for the price but mine snapped. Good trucks and wheels though I kept those for a new board.

I used 3M double sided sticky tape. The recent ones I have gotten gone with it. That allows you to stick it to any surface.

I mounted to a hard SUP. Most of these type of glue items want a slightly roughed up hard surface. If the foam is smooth it might work, although if it was pulled with force the foam might rip. You would have to judge that on your SUP. If it is a bumpy surface it would probably not work.

You could try but peeling up the backing tape may peel up the finish on the board. I removed one to remount it and it was a chore, but my board is composite so it didn't hurt the finish, just the fingernails. Just get a suction cup mount with a floatie and tether and you're good to go brah.

I used permanent carpet tape. However, that is if you don't care about the surface underneath.

I haven't used the tape for that purpose, but here's my educated guess. The first consideration is adherence. The glue on the tape is very strong and it seems to hold well over time on smooth surfaces. I think you would be able to get the tape to stick to a smooth and curved surface like a shower hand grip if it's smooth. If the surface of the grip is bumpy at all, it probably won't work. The second consideration is moisture. I don't have any first-hand knowledge of this because my tape is not exposed to water. There is another review where the person stated they used it on the stairs of their outdoor wooden playset. It sounds like the tape had some peeling at the corners after a summer of use. From that, my guess would be that the tape might work for your purpose but you might need to replace it occasionally if it is in contact with water/steam.

The sticky surface is excellent quality but needs a flat (not curved) surface for max effect. It will stick to glass, plastics, and resins. Only concern may be from lateral wind pressure.

absolutely! I laminate kayak paddles with this product as well as seal the finished product with a coat or two. If gluing wood where it will not be visable you can even add a little sawdust to the mixture to thicken it some and ad strength and quicker drying time.This paste is used in making kayaks and I add dust to the laminates when I make a paddle.They call it woodflour.

i can only speak to self sticking. it is an adhesive backed tape. you peel off a thin film covering, and then stick it on. sticks well.

It has a sticky substance on it. It's not a tape you apply. I would not count on it to stick and restick several times.

We used double sided automotive tape to remove them as we are renting. So far it works great. You can get it at any automotive store. Just make sure the surfaces are clean and dry before for you use it. It peels off pretty easily with a little effort and some rubbing alcohol. I am not sure how screws would work in a wet environment. It might let too much water into places you don't want it. I would try the double stick tape.

Yes just make sure you have a clean dry surface when you apply the adhesive. If it's not clean and dry it will come right up.
