Default Custom grip tape swim platform

I thought I would get some feedback from my latest project. The original grip tape was looking rough, so I made my own. Any thoughts? Too big of gaps to have the logo? I debated just doing graphics to match the sunpad or graphics, but really didn't want a whole lot of white on there. Bad pic, but should get the point across.

Strong work! Like it. You should put this in General Discussion.

So, how did you do it?

Well, I own a sigh shop, so I printed the graphic on vinyl and added a textured laminate. I've been on outlaw platforms with no tape, and its gets real slick real fast. Also in the pic, you can't see, but I made the stripes where they run over the recessed portion, so you're actually getting more grip than with stock. I put it on last night, so only time will tell if it will hold up or not.

I'm not looking to sell anything right now. I want to see how it holds up first, and I don't want to get in trouble selling stuff on here. If you have any local sign guys, I'm sure they can fix you right up.

We went out a couple times this weekend, and the grip is good, wet or dry, shoes or bare feet, so now I'm just going to be keeping on eye on shrinkage, delamination, curling, etc.
