Re: <R35> - Adhesive Tape

Since I designed and fabricated those tensioners, I can tell you that we did not used any sort of grip-tape between the tensioner and the bolt. We make sure to use as large of a washer as we could, to increase the loaded surface area. As long as your contact area on both sides is large enough, these types of tensioners should not slip on you.

If you find that you're having problems with them slipping, you can always use a "toothed washer" to help grip against the material.

This should alleviate your "grip tape" dilemna.
