    Anti-Slip Tape Advice: Acylic vs Rubber Adhesives

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    After researching safety tapes the past couple weeks I know more than I thought possible about safety tapes.

    This weeks tip:  Chose acrylic adhesives instead of rubber adhesives for anti-slip tape.

    If you have the choice, go with the acrylic adhesives. It’s going to save you time and money in the long run when you eventually go to remove the safety tape. (The tape has to be replaced sometime!) When pulled up, the acrylic adhesives leaves behind no residue (yeah!) but if it’s a rubber based safety tape you’re going to need some acetate and some good old fashion elbow grease to rub away the residue. From a maintenance standpoint, the choice is clear -save your knees and time.
