replacement step tread

Post by Bob Giaier »

I don't know what you guys do over xmas break, but I find this time to be great for working on all the stuff I bring back home from my Tri Cabin to work on before spring. One thing I've just started on are the swim deck stairs. I plan to refinish them with Sikkens, but allot of the rubber tread has also come off the steps. I know I can use 4200 black caulk instead, but I really like the rubber tread. Does anyone know where you can find a roll of the stuff? Also, are there any tricks in installing the rubber strips? What kind of adhesive, special tools etc...

I tried to search the forum listings for something on this but didn't see anything.

Thanks in advance for your help.

We had trouble with the tread coming off our fiberglass steps. I use gorilla glue on them a year ago and they have not moved. I just put a weight on the tread ot hold it while the glue set.
