My boat has a teak cover to the ski locker which looks good, but is very slick. My daughter who is very young and slips on it all the time. Not to mention myself and others are slipping on it especially when it is wet. Does anyone know of any type of clear grip tape that will help or know any tricks to make the wood less slick? I am thinking about a clear skateboard grip tape at this point.
I would think you could get this at a skate board shop. Now that you mentioned it, I have been trying to figure out what I can do in the cockpit of my 19' Daytona instead of carpet. I am in the process of gel coating it now, so clear grip tape may be an option that I haven't thought about.If you find a source, please PM me and let me know.

The tape thing might work for a while but in the hot sun the adhesive will ooze out from behind it and make a mess ..Remove the wood sand lightly and apply a few coats of varnish or polyurethane with some sand added to it ...no more slips!

That's a good idea....Grip tape and water don't go well anyway.....
Here's what I'll be using on the trailer steps and fenders (my trailer is yellow).

Here is an Idea. I use a spray coating as a replacement for the "WAX" on my Surf Board. It used to be a bumpy stuff very similar to wax. I went to get some replacement recently and the old stuff isn't made anymore, (EPA restrictions I think), so I bought the new stuff. It is clear with a grit in it. Very good grip but tough on the chest. This should work great as a non-slip for Wood, Fiberglass, you name it.Get it at most Surfboard shops.
That is a great idea adding sand. How about this stuff? West Marine non-slip clear spray What do you think?

Do you know the name of the product?
