Anti slip tape

Hi I’m just in the process of fitting a new deck to my Ribtec,new marine ply etc re fibreglassed and have gone for a white gel coat finish. Don’t want to use mats as one there expensive an 2 there a pain so decided to go for anti slip tape think the dark grey will go nicely with the white. Anyone used this, does it last well?
Thanks Matt.

Personally id go with the anti slip flow coat with the polygrains in it
Wears well and you can sand it off and redo if needed unlike sand added to the flowcoat which tears the sanding disks to pieces

Not sure which disks you're using but I've never had an issue with sanding disks on a grinder for this purpose.

You've obviously never tried to sand a deck that someone used sand in the flowcoat to create a none slip deck. The sand is as hard as the abrasive on the fibre disks so just eats them
