Give this 1/2" tape a try, it's what I used and it did a fine job.

I used that 3M tape Don is linking too. Worked pretty good for my hatches and floor patch.

Here is my job. I actually used colored marking tape too. It is exactly 1/2" wide and strong. Standard electrical tape is 3/4" wide and a little too wide for my taste. Also I was trying to match up perfectly with the adjacent panels. See the last picture.

Thanks for the tips. Both jobs look professionally done. Any product suggestions for the non-skid additive? I'm not sure what to use there.

I used Interlux brand - Compound "Intergrip" no skid compound. formula/model # 2398c. I got it at West Marine. It comes in a 8 oz can. Very pleased with the texture and durability, so far. Not too hard too clean either.

You can go to Shermin Williams Industrial coatings stores and get a plastic blue tape in different widths. I have used the 3M brand and their off brand with good results. If you want some non-skid send me a pm and I will send you some Interlux as I have a bunch left over. It goes along way - I used Signature Finish when I redid the decks on my 23.
