I have a good customer...boat repair shop.They do a lot of factory warranty work so reproduction graphics on older boats comes to me as the factories phase out older artwork.Boat owners are willing to pay good prices to have their"babies" brought back to original. So today..I look at a job.Its a "bass boat"..the letters are pebbly textured..The shop foreman says.."these letters look like a roll of tape we use for non skid on the decks of boats..huh?Boy..he says..I shore wished you could cut this stuff.......hey......I CAN! The material feels like rubber and is about thick as sandblast resist...slow down the plotter......up the mash......cool letters......they look like letters made out of fresh road pavement.... I hadda use masking tape for application......heavy stickkie !@#$....
Try a swimming pool supply company Victor. It's the same stuff they use on diving boards for an anti-slip surface. It has an obvious name like no-slip grit film or something like that.
Sounds like a cool lettering Idea, you can put lettering on floors and have it be non slip.
Kinda like floor minders,
