The non-skid patches on the foredeck are well past their useful life.  But they are a requirement since the area they are protecting is extremely slick!  With some hard pulling, they removed quite easily.

 

But left behind was debris and lots of adhesive.

 

So I got to work with various tools and acetone.  Eventually got all the sticky adhesive removed and the surface all cleaned and ready for application of the new treads.

 

I used a 4" tape that is especially made for this application.  I replaced the treads exactly as they were since there is some discoloration where the old ones were that I want to cover.

 

And a few hours of scrubbing and installing, all done for another 10 years or so!  (This is just half of course, but the other half is done as well...)
