Well, I still haven't made up my mind. A fellow bolter and I had a phone conversation today and he had a couple neat suggestions.
one was to find a skateboard supply place and maybe look at the strips they use on them for "non skid". It is also adhesive backed and sticks like glue. (I like good peel and stick)!!
Another idea was perhaps check out the marine supply place for boats. They have some pretty tough "stiprs" that stick good and do well around water!!
I've got to do some some checking. Whew, look what a simple question has turned into

.....anther learning curve!
Thanks, Steve, and I'll keep ya'll posted.
