Product Summary: Books are slippery objects, especially on shiny vinyl lined cheap bookshelves. Bookends may help, but only for the books at the end. When books or binders are taken from the middle of the shelf, the other books tend to slid. Adding a layer of non-slip material will keep things from sliding and keep the gap open, so one knows where to put the book/binder back. It also helps keep objects on the shelf in minor earthquakes, saving literally thousands of dollars in merchandise and equipment in the common small earthquakes. |

Summary:
The non-slip material provides a secure surface that anchors items like games or note-pads on tables and also prevents cups from slipping off trays and trolleys. Dycem non-slip can also be used to stabilize household appliances so that individuals can prepare food or manipulate utensils with ease, or on the dashboard of the car to hold items like sunglasses or mobile phones. It is not sticky but grips on both sides to prevent movement on dry slippery surfaces. The non-slip properties can be used as the mats but they are more malleable so they can easily be moulded or wrapped around any object to improve grip. The material is available in a variety of colours including clear, which can be placed over existing surfaces without altering the design. The reel material can easily be cut to fit discreetly under items around the home. Original Reel Grip It Reel Comfort Reel |
