Hi all Our boat has stuff that looks like extremely thin camping mat glued round the area your feet end up when youre on the trapeze to improve grip. Its very effective but is getting a bit tatty. Does anyone know where you can get this stuff? gem 420 48096 |

I heard a while back that you can by almost exactly the same stuff at a
fraction of the cost from phisio/chiropractic type supliers, might be
worth looking into

thanks all will try p&b. Also saw the stuff in an art shop, although cut to size it did come in very funky colours.... |

| Don't go mad on the pro grip, if you just want to make slippery areas grippy try sex wax (Google it). |

Except it gets everywhere and looks crap if you cockpit is white - had it on an RS400 and it took 2 hours to clean it all off when I was trying to sell. ------------- Laser 203001, Harrier (H+) 36 |
