Well that's sold as a sheet and intended to be used that way...

so, according to the Q&A it seems legal.

Please read this entire thread for the full discussion.

The short answer (per FIRST Q&A Forum) is that anything sold as a "tape" - that is, the packaging calls it a tape (even if it is sold in sheets versus a long narrow length), is not legal. If an inspector questions it, you need to be able to show packaging that calls it something other than a tape.

So, in theory, I could have adhesively backed gripping paper? (just theoretical here, we don't even have a ramp...) Or could I simple have and paper glued onto the ramp.

According to the FIRST Q&A (as I read it - see my post #22 above for the quote), that is correct.

another idea that i belive is perfectly legal correct me if im wrong. you could use the hook side of velcro and that usually has an adhesive back

just an idea we had it on ours before we had to rip them off for weight:confused:

Or you could just spray the ramp down with this.
