So business got really slow for the winter. So slow that I had to get a job. At an office. From 9-5.
It was hard to adjust to someone else's schedule, rules, etc., but it's actually kinda nice to get a consistent paycheck every two weeks.
Anyway, I'm doing the few winter jobs I have on the weekends. My current project is a chiropractor table. One of the bigger pieces has two strips of a gripper type of material (maybe 10"x2") stapled to the underside. Does anyone know what this stuff is and where can I get it?
Thanks guys. I've missed it here. Gonna go catch up on past posts.

Is it Velcro?
No, it's definitely not Velcro. It feels more like sandpaper, but it's not sand that makes up the roughness. It's like a plastic type of texture. I've seen it before, but I can't put my finger on where I've seen it. The chiropractor told me it's on all tables of that type and it's actually pivotal to the functionality.
Is it that peel and stick traction tape like you'd put on your truck's running boards or your RV steps,etc...
Darren, Yes! That would work! Where do you get it?
I found this

Im sure there are more searched traction strips
I'd start by checking your safety supply retailers. Your auto parts stores should have it as well, or any place like Canadian Tire that carry a line of car accessories like polish,fuzzy dice,etc...You should also be able to get it at a boat or RV dealership. they will likely be pricey though. You might even find it at an "Independent living" store; Some where between the grab rails for the tub and the new tips for your cane LOL.
Thanks guys. I'll probably order it online, as I may get distracted by the fuzzy dice. :D

Hey, pick me up a set of those pink wiper blades while you're there.
Just wondering........would the "hook" side of industrial strength Velcro work? Lowes and Home Depot have the 2" wide rolls with adhesive backing.
