Alternatives to PSA sandpaper for fences?

[cgallery]

I was wondering if anyone has suggestions for something to use besides PSA sandpaper on fences. It doesn't stick that well, and I don't like the shedding of grit.

I was thinking stair grip, which I guess is a glorified PSA that sticks better and has better grit retention.

But I was wondering if there are any other better ideas?

I've seen some high friction tape over at Lee Valley. I haven't tried it though.

I didn't realize what it was but my son told me that the sandpaper on my Osborne miter gauge is skate board paper. That stuff never wears out with typical useage on a fence.

I once attached a temporary, MDF fence to my miter gauge with double-stick tape. When I removed the temporary fence, the tape stayed on the gauge. I left it there, and it provided an excellent non-slip surface -- although for the first couple of weeks, things almost stuck TOO well. At least three or four months elapsed before it completely lost its tackiness.

Thanks guys, I'll probably some of the suggestions and see what works best for me. I appreciate the help.

I often use the commercial non-skid stuff you can get at HD. My BIL gets rolls at Delta Air Lines as they use it on steps.. tow vehicle step-ups.. ramps.. etc. etc. It does stick better on fences than the stuff from Klingspors I use for scary sharp.

Good luck..

I bought a strip of skateboard grip last year and have been cutting it into pieces for grips on various fences - its great stuff

Just a thought - haven't tried this - but would something like Plasti-Dip or Dip&Grip work? I believe there's even a spray-on version, but I can't recall who makes it. If it provides adequate grip, it could be put on the face of a sacrificial fence if desired.
