Just put TractionGrips on my Service, and I am experiencing more "rub" that before. Not a big deal, just noticible. But the extra grip is worth a little discomfort...

Cheers! M2

If you round the corners on skate tape, it stays on better. And if you wear a wife-beater, it doesn't rub

I use the stair tape that you can buy at the hardware store by the roll. They make it in the skate style and in rubber. I use the skate style for the frontstrap and rubber for the sides because the skate style tears up my clothes.

I only carry IWB. When Carrying I always have a wife beater under my shirt or T-shirt. This will keep any rough areas from coming into contact with your skin. Grip tape or no grip tape. This makes a big difference in how comfortable your carry will be- try it.

I have never had Agrip "peel up." I'd rather French-kiss a DemocRAT than wear a "wife-beater."
