sweet sprock your too good to me. What do you think would make this stick to the tank or just use the self adhesive on it? Also is it me or does it only say 1 inch for length?

Saw this while searching for a cheap alternative
the guy said it was sellys allclear sealant. It looks like a clear silicone caulk for windows and doors, pretty cheap and looks good to me. I don't think it would be too hard to remove if you didn't like it. This is the page I found it on Stompgrip Traction Pads - Cornering Forum, about halfway down the page Jason Woods posted the info in a couple posts.

I didn't really think about it but you could also do a pattern of dots of caulk that would look like stomp grips.

Default Cheap Tank Grip

I've been researching this too... I like the caulk idea! I wonder if it would peel though at a crucial moment?

Here's what I think---

I may try "Hooligan grips"!

Recycled rubber sheet (anti-skid) supposed to be like tires...slight texture.

Recycled Rubber, 1/4 In Thick, 12x12 In - Rubber Sheets and Strips - Rubber - 10U475 : Grainger Industrial Supply
$6.44 for both sides

PC7 Epoxy to glue on. Epoxy, High Viscosity, Gray, 2 Oz Package - Epoxy - Glues and Cements - 4AUV4 : Grainger Industrial Supply $5.79.

Total cost for me is about $15. (Grainger here in town).

This however is permanent. What do you guys think?

I did the caulk, works well I think but I've never had any other kind of tank grips. It's hard to make it look as smooth/good as it does in the pic I posted, might have been b/c my caulk gun is a POS. It shows no signs of peeling, here is a pic
