Believe it or not, IKEA have non slip self adhesive tape, in a few colours. I know I just bought some!

My local chandler TCS has it in white and grey and various widths.

That stuff on eBay looks like some that I inherited on my new boat. It's like emery paper and is bloody awful. I got some white grip tape from Windermere Aqautic. Not because I need it, but I can't get the adhesive off the grp so I've covered it with some decent tape.

Lidl had non slip tape, inch wide, 3m roll, only black unfortunately, as of last week for 99p a roll. Got some on our office steps and it's ok so far!! your local branch may have some left.

Tried the DIY stores and local hardware store for some without success. Compass24 have 40 mm wide tape in a choice of 9 colours. Ref 996 281 to 996 289 look at compass24.com

£8.95 for 1.5m

Bloody hell! I got my tape (from a swindlery) for £6 for 5 metres.

I have used tape from a diy/ bathroom supplier, stuff for showers, on the hatches and cockpit combings for the last 3 yrs, it is still stuck fast, clean with acetone first, it really got a grip!

thanks, well too late, but the link you sent claims it does not leave a residue, hmm i might be sending the other stuff back.
still trying to clean off the residue of the orrigional tape :-((
