I bought clear no-slip tape on Amazon. Here’s how it looks. link They came with a handy roller. It was very easy to apply. I don’t find I notice them and my wife (who’s very picky about my “projects”) gave me the thumbs up after inspecting the steps. Here’s the link on Amazon Amazon

Problem Solved

I have hardwood and granite stairs in my house and this fixed the issue that you describe. And it is nearly invisible.

u/RockerAtFive · 5 pointsr/powerwashingporn

It should help. If you still have problems, try this.

u/GALACTICA-Actual · 5 pointsr/VEDC

Since you're not looking to strap down heavy loads, and you probably don't want to start popping rivet or screw holes in your car, or hot weld things, (what the hell, in a car trunk,) JB Weld has a large line of adhesives, one of which will do you just fine. If you have extreme temperatures where you live, they have ones meant to perform in extreme hot or cold conditions.

You'll be able to liquid weld whatever type of anchor point you want to the inside of the trunk. Another method, (if you're just trying to keep a gear box/bin from sliding around,) is to put anti-slip tape on the bottom of the bin.

I use an 8 gal. Rubbermaid ActionPacker, (which holds a shit-ton of gear, probably 30 lbs.,) in the back of my Honda Pilot. I have one strip of that tape on the bottom of it, and it doesn't move an inch. And the more weight you have in it, the better it will work. I have a load blanket spread out to protect my carpet, anyway, and it sits on that just fine.

I really think this is all you need

u/Stuff_on_Things · 4 pointsr/DIY

I thought the same thing. Maybe set 1/4 depth on a circular saw and cut some groves in it. Or something like THIS. Wet moss + smooth boards = slip > break neck > drown in creek.

u/DinkaAnimalLover · 4 pointsr/Rabbits

Try that rug for him that I linked. It's less than $20 - easy to clean, looks good. Even just right outside his cage... He will love it! :)

​

For stairs try these clear strips or these or something like this.

Oh an you are very very welcome!

I'm always surprised that more people that trailer do not have a better solution to the wet feet problem. Years ago I installed traction tape on my bumper and top side of my trailer. 3M traction tape has worked great on the topside of my bumper for years, and these shower treads work great on the trailer, and even glow in the dark for night loading. I just step from dock to bumper to trailer tongue, and winch the last foot or two. I'm about as clumsy as they come, but have never had an issue with this arrangement.

u/Biggeasy · 3 pointsr/HomeImprovement

Grip tape to help give you that feeling you're getting better traction. Something such as this: Tape King Anti Slip Traction Tape - 4 Inch x 30 Foot - Best Grip, Friction, Abrasive Adhesive for Stairs, Safety, Tread Step, Indoor, Outdoor - Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M63K167/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_uJc0DbQTCAHBF

Pool noodle or foam from the craft store attached to the beam, perhaps a couple layers thick if you think it's warranted. Spray glue or hot glue maybe, to get it to stick.

u/ShesWalkinOutTheDoor · 3 pointsr/HomeImprovement

If you re-stain them, you could always get clear treads: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0756M19NC

u/CmdrVimes42 · 3 pointsr/DIY

How about some 3M safety/grip tape?

u/the_disintegrator · 3 pointsr/HomeImprovement

You don't own it, and there is nothing that appears to be rotting - so rotting isn't a concern.

A good way to conceal the ugliness would be to scrape off the loose paint, then glue on some outdoor/marine carpet. Landlord would probably not approve though, because removing it would be a destructive mess.

I'd just buy an appropriate sized rectangle of outdoor or marine carpet for the deck surface, then minimally secure the corners with some 3/4" staples (something easy to remove). Probably available much more cheaply at a big box store or carpet store. Then let the steps ride, or ask if you can paint them. If they were my steps, they look like a good candidate for edge protectors. As they are not yours though, I would not spend a dime on that.

u/PrussianBleu · 3 pointsr/Dogtraining

my dog seems scared of our stairs inside but has no problem on our walks at the park going 30+ stairs on an overpass.

we're going to try something like this

u/ginger_genie · 3 pointsr/pregnant

We have these on our wood stairs and I highly recommend them. Just ensure that you clean the stairs before sticking them down (unlike my husband :-/ )

u/fashunz · 2 pointsr/malefashionadvice

I came across a post on SF not too long ago where a guy used grip tape to "topy" a pair of shoes himself. I was thinking of trying this - stupid idea? I know a good cobbler can do it for $20 but I've got like 6 pairs of shoes I'd like to cover (just a half-sole). I feel like if you cut the tape perfectly and maybe use a little rubber cement it'll hold just fine.

u/je_taime · 2 pointsr/dogs

I haven't noticed edges coming up. Some of the packs come with a small roller to help you push the tread down more. It was a flimsy little roller. I just used something else.

I haven't taken any treads off, but for anything sticky, you can use rubbing alcohol or whatever is recommended to get the sticky stuff off safely.

It's either treads, tape, or you line the flight of stairs with a carpet runner and pin it down. If we did not have carpet already, we would have installed some rubber safety treads like these: https://www.amazon.com/Indoor-Outdoor-Bullnose-Rubber-Non-Slip/dp/B0772RYRMD

A Shower Niche usually refers to an insert in the shower wall. If you want to seal the gap between the post and the tile I would get a custom piece of glass cut, have the edges smoothed or beveled and use something like this:

​

https://www.amazon.com/Stainless-Square-Tempered-Laminated-GC-056S/dp/B0742KFMDJ/ref=pd_sbs_60_7?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B0742KFMDJ&pd_rd_r=0c3b23eb-83f1-11e9-aef3-91e0c1ba0bc6&pd_rd_w=zlNzl&pd_rd_wg=W1y81&pf_rd_p=588939de-d3f8-42f1-a3d8-d556eae5797d&pf_rd_r=QW9EZMN9K9VRGYSY4RCW&psc=1&refRID=QW9EZMN9K9VRGYSY4RCW

​

You will need to drill into the tile with a tile bit. The glass can run from almost floor to almost ceiling. If you want shelves you can do the same thing, use different cleats:

​

Make sure that the glass falls above the curb, which should be slopped into the tub.

Can you link the seller post or send some pics of it? It helps to know the design style because there are a few types.

One simple fix you can try is getting some safety grip tape and add it to the wheel surface. Use a blwo dryer or heat gun to get the tape and wheel warm while applying it because it helps the adhesive get a solid grip and keeps the edges from coming up.

The tape also makes the wheel more annoying to clean, but that isn't an issue with all chins. Even if it does become an issue, you can just peel the dirty tape off and replace it. The stuff is pretty cheap. You may be worried that the grit will be too rough, but chinchilla feet are adapted to rough rocks and sand from their original environment. It acts more like a pumice stone that helps keep their callouses fresh enough to avoid cracking which can be an entry point for bumblefoot issues, anyway.

u/iamclaus · 2 pointsr/photography

Consider buying a different plate. Any Arca-Swiss compatible plate will work with that head. Your tripod is sold under a variety of brand names and I have one very similar to yours. I bought a new plate from fpgear.com so I could still use my BlackRapid strap.

You could try buying some grit tape and put a strip on the bottom of your camera and then mount the plate. That should give the plate some more grip against the camera body.

u/Shyglow · 2 pointsr/cats

We used traction tape at my old job, this might work for you - http://amzn.com/B0006HVKM4

u/owyourehurtingme · 2 pointsr/hiphopvinyl

Oh I forgot to post that. I used these things https://imgur.com/a/wz9GE I got them from Lowes I'm pretty sure you can then in any hardware store. IIRC they are usually meant for placing carpet to the floor I could be wrong. They all came with 3 nails and pre drilled holes so I just nailed it to the wall

Edit: They are actually stair corner guards https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000CSIJ5I/ref=asc_df_B000CSIJ5I4790149/?tag=hyprod-20&creative=395009&creativeASIN=B000CSIJ5I&linkCode=df0&hvadid=167152358566&hvpos=1o3&hvnetw=g&hvrand=13253972481369317411&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9032140&hvtargid=pla-274497126161

u/peokuk · 2 pointsr/DIY

I redid my stairs a few years ago and didn't do grit in the finish. After a few close calls, I ended up putting tread tape down. No one notices it, and I haven't fallen yet. If I did it again I'd try grit, but I'm happy with it now.

u/FelixMortane · 1 pointr/WindowsMR

https://www.amazon.ca/VViViD-Heavy-Duty-Non-Slip-Rubberized-Self-Adhesive/dp/B07KQ79695/ref=sr_1_11?keywords=grip+tape&qid=1557804349&s=gateway&sr=8-11

This what I did. I did not have a problem with it myself, but I received that complaint multiple times from others playing (and obviously witnessed it). I purchased this grip tape and placed small amounts of it at strategic places. Night and day.

I went with a cheap roll of this tape and it ended up more like a skateboard tape than I was expecting, I wanted more rubberized pistol grip but those were a lot more money for less.

Being lazy and just linking from discord. Here is where I put the strips

Hope this helps or inspires another solution for you

u/Lambics · 1 pointr/dogs

So something like this stuff taped in a row on a board? How often do you let them use it/is it just for the front feet? I like that idea!

Edit: I do have a longboard that I have trained her to stand on, maybe if I held it up against a wall we could train a new "trick" and use the grip tape on it for filing? :)

The cheapest option for our doggy ramp was some grip tape from Amazon. I can dig up the link if you’d like. We have an IVDD surgery doggie, so we’re trying to avoid it again!

eta: this is what we used; EdenProducts Heavy Duty Anti Slip... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B077KGCBJL?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

u/gk615 · 1 pointr/DIY

This 3M clear grip tape works great!

u/pm_me_your_kindwords · 1 pointr/fixit

We used this and it has worked well https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0756M19NC

u/mdgates00 · 1 pointr/HomeImprovement

I've got some lick-and-stick asphalt stair treads in my basement that I really enjoy. Not suitable for bare feet, though.

http://www.amazon.com/Safety-Track-3100-Commercial-Non-Slip/dp/B002PK0KTY/

u/hijinks · 1 pointr/DIY

Ok so when you rip up the carpet and padding. Chances are your tread will have the bull nose. That's the rounded edge that sticks out over the riser below. You will have to cut that off as you attach the laminate bull nose instead.

As for the treads.. Use a template like this

https://www.amazon.com/Stair-Tread-Gauge-Shelf-Layout/dp/B00JUOS4RS/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_60_t_0?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=JT9Z9PW829NESGKT0E15

Yes it's $100 and seems expensive but will save you MASSIVE amounts of time. Stairs are not a perfect rectangle and a perfect 90 degree. This template will help you cut the laminate to perfectly match.

There's tons of youtube videos on stairs but it's not hard just time consuming.

u/0ddb4l1 · 1 pointr/DIY

it'll actually be the upset of that. Old treads 9 3/4". New treads will be a 2x10 so roughly 9 1/4".

I have a sliding miter saw and bought this today https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JUOS4RS - hoping the treads go well. Still debating if I should just re-use, paint, and sand the risers. I'd have to rip cut the risers and am worried about getting them lined up perfectly at the bottom of treads. Nice thing is I can get under the stairs to nail the risers into back of treads for a tight fit at the Tread into Riser transition.

https://i.imgur.com/ea8hsJW.png here is my sweet mspaint example. Any idea how I can ensure the top of the riser is a really tight and non-visible seal to the tread? Other than small rip cut after rip cut until it's right?

u/nithos · 1 pointr/HomeImprovement

I will take some measurements when I get home. But looks like these might fit the bill.

My currently sore tailbone is saying price is no option!

u/ronaldthegreat · 1 pointr/landscaping

I was hoping there could be some kind of texture we apply to the ply to help combat it getting frosty, at least provide some grip in frosty weather, or maybe add something like this: https://www.amazon.com/Adhesive-Traction-Outdoor-outdoor-setting/dp/B014TB6RSY
