3M Safety-Walk Indoor/Outdoor Tread, Black, 2-in by 9-in, 6 Strips, 7639NA

Good product. It arrived in order. Thanks

I applied this to my deck stairs a couple months ago now and it's holding like a champ even though it's rained 4 out of 5 days ever since. The traction is great. Whatever you want to put this on - it needs to be well cleaned and dry before you put it on.My application to painted wood stairs: I scrubbed with a floor brush, water bucket and a tiny bit of dish soap. Rinsed very well. Dried 24 hours. Quick wipe down with cotton cloth damp with denatured alcohol. (Not too much - don't dissolve your paint!) Applied the tape. Placed towel over it and used a metal roller vigorously. (Eternabond 2Lb Steel Roller is what I used)Things to consider if applying to wood.How recently was it waterproofed? I can't imagine any adhesive would work well on top of a coat of Thompson's water seal or whatever else.In the shade and slick because of moss/mold/lichen stuff growing on it? You have to get that stuff completely off if you want this to stick. Power washer followed by sand paper is what I'd do.I'll try to remember to come back and update this next summer after I see how it holds up longer term.Update! I can't say for sure if the product is for sure still the same.. but it's been FIVE YEARS and this stuff has not come off the stairs. The paint is peeling off the deck but this stuff has stayed. Sure there's a spot here and there that has peeled a little bit but it's still going strong. A+ Changed to well deserved 5 stars.Update 2: 8 years later and I've still not replaced this tape. Missing some bits here and there.. It's not super pretty any more.. but wow 8 years?? Hope they haven't changed how they make it. 👍👍👍

It's 3M and quality. It's rather intensely obvious, visually overriding any tile design. Works well. A tad expensive, but you are dealing with a potential fall, so it's worth it. I applied to front entryway, and was about to apply to larger back porch. However, on reading the removal instructions I decided to hold off and use a liquid tile treatment instead. I suppose being difficult to remove may be a good thing, but their method was one that (in my opinion) potentially damaged the tile. Success on small entryway.

I am using these on the ramp of an enclosed trailer. Especially in the snow, the ramp was extremely slippery, as was the aluminum transition flap at the top of the ramp. I placed strips of this tape across the full width of the ramp, spaced every 12". The adhesive has held up well under rain, sun, and snowy conditions, and sticks securely both to the wood of the ramp and the aluminum transition flap.For installation, sweep and dust the surface thoroughly. Mark guidelines on the surface to help your alignment when applying. Use a roller to press down the product after placement. Or, without a roller, walk solidly on every square inch of the applied tape so that the adhesive is well engaged with the surface.Tip: for this tape (and many other tapes & stickers) you can improve the longevity by rounding the corners before you put it on. Keep those corners and the rest of the ends as clean as you possibly can while installing. If you are going to get fingerprints anywhere, do it somewhere in the middle of the tape. This means that you can get better results if you remove that backing paper starting in the middle, rather than at an end.

I have a ramp up to the door on my shed. Between the ramp aging and my old steel toes relegated to yard work, it's a bit of a slip and slide. Cut up some strips of this to stick on each plank and it works very well. A few months in and it's held up to foot traffic and weather. The paper backing takes some effort to remove but if you fold a corner back and forth it isn't insurmountable. I appreciate the heavy adhesive but you won't get a second chance if you don't put it exactly where you want the first time. So be it. Works as intended. There isn't a lot of it though in each roll so make sure to measure what you need before buying or else you'll be going back for more like I did.

These worked well for an elderly adult's stairs. It made it easier for her to get up and down.

I built a ramp going from our front to back yard. Once I was done I realized it was probably a little steeper then it should be. It was fine when it was clean and dry but as soon as it got a little bit of saw dust or mud/dirt on it felt like you might slide. I installed a strip of this stuff at the top and bottom of each board of the ramp (2x6) boards and now even my elderly neighbor says she feels comfortable going up and down the ramp.It's only been 2 months since I installed it but it doesn't show signs of wearing or peeling even though I regularly go up and down it with the lawn mower, wheelbarrow, and other equipment. I'll see how it's holding up after winter and update if it changes but I think the stuff is there to stay.I didn't prep the surface as well as I probably should have, I hosed it off but didn't bother to scrub any dirt off. Also after hosing it off I only gave it about two hours to dry. The wood wasn't soaked any more but still damp to the touch, like I said though it's been holding fine any way. As far as people that had trouble with it sticking I highly recommend doing it on a hot day, preferably with the sun beating on the tape. Also if you get a piece down and realize it's not how you want it, your going to have to toss it. Once you peel it off it just doesn't seem to stick right, even if it's only on for a second.

The instructions state that they should not be used underwater but I use it underwater in my pool on the steps and this product is awesome!! Thank you 3M!!
