Sticky Tape on Swim Platform
 

Well I got my Swim Platform back from the PC guy and now I need some of the gray tape to put back on it. Anyone know where to get and what I should ask for? Thanks in advance

Will

These are the guys that build and make the platforms for Baja...

I remember a post a long time ago and Brian41 had some.

I had grey on mine, but when I had it redone, I switched to black tape. Looks much nicer against the red.

I bought a roll online. I can't remember where right now, but it was like 40.00 shipped. You can buy the grey 3-M tape at any hardware store by the foot.

Will,
There are some websites and phone numbers in this link...

Some of mo nonskid grey tape is curling on the ends. Is the a easy way to remove the exisiting completely and apply new.

I would be afaid of lifting any powder coat off the swim platform.
Thanks
Dennis

Bowtye--

Try soaking it first with wax and grease remover/bug and tar remover to loosen the old glue, then remove glue residue with alot of rags.

Just ordered some this week.

Series 300 1" wide.

Thanks Looks like I have lots of options.

Will,
How much of a biatch was it to get the swim platform off? Any tips or pointers? I know that 5200 is some tough stuff. I need to get mine re-powdercoated.

Busta, I think you will find that they didnt use 5200 on it or at least I hope they didnt. Mine had either 4200 or White silicone in the holes. I had 3 or four through bolts on the top and 2 lag bolts on each down leg. Loosened them and off it came. Same with my 25 when I took it off. I took a few pics of mine but they didnt come out. I got a 3-4 color powder coat that is bad a$$. move the sun and the color changes. pics dont do it justice. You will need someone to help you as they are a little heavy.

I got a roll of that tape from extrem they gave
me a small can of glue to put on first. If you dont
use the glue the tape will come off. Get ahold off
Brian 41 he should have the tape for olot less ,
Rick
make sure you use the glue

I hate the tape and painted on anti-skid on top of the PC instead. Like it MUCH better than tape.

Do you remember the name of the glue?

I dont remember the name its down at my home in Fla,
I think its made by 3m its yellow real tacky and strong smelling
When I get down to fla I will post the name of it.If you need it
sooner call extreme marine in twinnsburg ohio, they have
a webb sight.

Sounds like Blake and TBM.....:lolhit:

Thanks for the info I will email them tomorrow.

If it's is yellow and made by 3M, then it is their trim adhesive. An automotive paint store should have it, or a NAPA store.

That's what I was thinking too. It's good stuff but I can imagine pretty messy trying to use it on the swim platform.

That looks much better!
