Attempting to add texture to climbing holds that have become quite polished and slippery. In this How To video, I am reusing a tactic I have used in the past on plywood, which is to add skateboard grip tape.
As far as review afterward: my results were kind of MEH.
The black grip tape had the better texture (not too abrasive) but for some reason the adhesive was not as good and the grippy part peeled away from a plastic layer when a climbing shoe would slip off. This could totally be due to the brand or even the "model" that I purchased.
The clear grip tape was much better for the adhesive and also not peeling away with footholds. The texture was quite a bit more abrasive though, so it takes some time to wear down to the more accurate texture.
I will leave some Amazon Affiliate links below for the brands I used. If you click one of the links, Amazon does share a small commission with me, so thank you for your support of the channel ;)

Cool idea 😀. Might work for wooden holds I had in mind for some time.

Yes. I think it would adhere better to wood because it is more porous

Cool idea. I wonder if you used a heat gun you might be able to bend the shape of the grip-tape to your will (the shape of the hold) and not have the folds/wrinkles on rounded convex and concave shapes. It might also help with it bonding/removing the potential bubbles.

Ya, I did not quite heat gun heat on some and it helped

It gets hot in my garage and I find the small pieces of grip tape tend to slide off but I have several large Pusher and Voodoo sloper jugs with grip tape that's managed to withstand the heat and climbing. I did have to cut them in funky shapes to adhere to the bulging curves of the slopers. I bet wrapping the grip tape behind the hold a bit would help a lot by pinching it between the hold and the wall, I'll try that on my smaller holds in the future. Thanks for the beta 👊🏼

i used super glue and aluminium oxide, it worked a treat, spread the glue out thinly then sprinkle the aluminium oxide over the glue. best to practice on a piece of wood first.

what's your experience with zinc plated t-nuts in a humid garage? is stainless steel recommended?

I haven't had an issue with the tnuts. My Minnesota wall got pretty humid. But the nonstainless bolts did rust a bit.

I've got Zinc plated tnuts on pressure treated plywood (which is horrible if you get it wet) however mine is in a very humid environment in my garage and I have had zero corrosion issues in the past 3 years. I freaked out a but when I learned about Zinc and Copper treatment in wamonized wood, however it seems to only be an issue if it's getting wet from the elements, humidity doesn't seem to be enough to get a chemical reaction going thankfully
