14. Reflexite REF-DB Retroreflective V92 Daybright Tape: 1 in. x 15 ft. (Silver-White) by Reflexite

    Features:
  • Oralite V92 Daybright Colors Microprismatic Retroreflective Conspicuity Tape is prismatic conspicuity material available in a variety of colors including red, white, blue, green, orange and gold. Photos of V92-DB are taken with a flash camera in order to show the reflectivity of the tape; the colors of the tape will be much darker if a high-intensity light source (like the flash from a camera or car headlights) are not being directed at the tape.
  • Oralite is the Oracal Group's new brand name for Reflexite. The thin, flexible sheeting has a unique appearance featuring a printed triangular white line pattern. V92 Daybright Colors will enhance the visibility of any police, fire or EMS vehicle. It provides superior visibility and conspicuity to oncoming motorists which results in improved safety and image.
  • UV and solvent resistant coatings ensure durability which allows for rugged outdoor use on the sides and rear of tow trucks, trailers, school buses, farm equipment, automobiles and all types of mobile and industrial equipment. Aggressive pressure-sensitive adhesive backing designed for rigid metal substrates.
  • The tape is weather-resistant and has a 5-year warranty. Maintains reflectivity after impact. Conspicuity-grade material like this is typically 6 or 7 times more reflective than a comparable color in an engineering-grade reflective tape since prism technology is used instead of glass beads so you would be able to see it from much farther distances away.
  • Standards Met: LS-300C section 3.6.7; ASTM D4956; complies with European RoHS directive 2002/95/EC. Carrier/Backing: enclosed lens retroreflective urethane film. Adhesive: acrylic. Release Liner: paper. Thickness: 8 mils (carrier, adhesive). Application Temperature: 50F to 100F. Core: 3-inch diameter.

I do not think leds are practical for sockets. I'v used glow in the dark paint (search term: photoluminescent) on various things. I had to buy the expensive stuff you probably won't find in stores, and the bottles are bright enough to navigate a messy room or even read by. I could imagine a small groove near the base of the socket fitted with a plastic glow ring.

I'm thinking the most reasonable product would be a thin strip of Micro Prismatic Reflective tape sold to customers who apply it to their own sockets. 3m makes some of the highest rated on amazon and I'm guessing you could find a durable tape with a strong adhesive.

You would have to have a flashlight, which I'm guessing someone who would need a solution to this problem is going to have. It would be about as bright as a white reflective traffic sign, but I think the 3m stuff is brighter.

The benefits would be no need for expensive design/manufacturing, customers who prefer high end snap-on stuff or others with harbor freight can both use them and you don't have to worry about precision manufacturing. Its a simple and inexpensive product, easy to package and market. You could also sell as multi purpose to put on tools and whatever else people drop in the dark. Just wanna make it possible to apply the tape without covering the size markings on the socket.

That being said the very brightest glow in the dark stuff is really cool I'v put on everything. I painted the back of my laptop so when the lights are of there's a little design on it. Put some on flashlights so i can find them in the dark. Fully charged it is about as bright as a glow stick. You can get various colors but due to some kinda limitation green can be made quite a bit brighter than other colors and lasts longer also (technically 24 hr. but probably only several hours being pretty bright).

Ohh, if anyone buys some from the link I just gave you ya might wanna get the oil or solvent based paints depending on what you will use it for. The water based dries a little rubbery and needs a certain type of surface to stick well (no smooth metal). You could get the pure pigment (it's like fairy dust) and mix it with clear high strenth glue (i think many epoxys absorb UV so they may not work well). Also applying fingernail polish or a clear gloss on top will protect it and smooth out the surface, the brightest pigments use larger (crystals?) and almost feels like sand mixed with paint.

Used a long marker, and angled it in maybe 20 degrees. Traced everything, then used a utility knife with a fresh blade and cut straight down. Peeled the majority of the material back with my fingers, Kaizen foam has layers you can peel back, but it won't come out in that layer perfectly clean. Test fit everything, cut away more where needed, in small increments because I wanted it super clean looking. Once I got the outline exactly how I wanted it, took a dremel with an abrasive stone head, and pointed it straight down and used it to clean up the lumpy, messy, bottom. Even punching straight down to remove material (especially for the magazine slots this was necessary) it was very effective. Just had to be careful with it, and it worked like a charm! Cleaned up the corners with some careful exacto knife work.

u/landoindisguise · 2 pointsr/climbing

I wouldn't bother with biners, but for more expensive stuff a little strip of orange gaffer tape works well, and has a bunch of advantages:

  1. It's removable and won't leave any sticky residue...but thieves probably won't know that (it looks just like regular cloth tape) so they may not try to remove it
  2. Despite #1 it's very sticky and I've never had any come off unless I wanted it to, long as you tape it onto a clean and reasonably smooth surface.
  3. If you pick a bright color it's easily visible from a distance (unlike engraving or that kind of thing)
  4. You can write on the tape (for example, name and address to return lost gear)
  5. If you really want to get funky you can create designs/patterns to make your stuff even more easily identifiable

    I started doing this with my camera gear because when I'd be doing freelance shoots as part of a team, other people would have the same bodies and/or lenses and when you're switching lenses around and stuff it's easy to lose track of whose is whose if they're not marked. But then I realized it would work well for basically anything, and now I use it for everything.

    For example, I really like it for luggage at the airport. Basically everyone has similar looking gray or black luggage, so it'd be easy for someone to grab yours at the carousel and walk away (intentionally or by accident) before you even notice. But put some big-ass orange Xs on that same luggage with tape and it stands out and becomes easy to spot.
u/3MWorkerBee · 8 pointsr/preppers

I have quite a bit of experience with retroreflective material. You don't need to worry about IR wavelengths as all visible light retroreflectors (generally beads or corner cubes) will work (almost) just as well for near infrared wavelengths.You can buy some paints that have some retroreflective beads in it, but they're not remotely strong enough to really do what you want. Most of the beads are totally coated with paint, so you end up with really poor coverage.You could buy some retroreflective beads and glue them onto your arrows (lying right at the surface of the glue), but unless you did a lot of experimentation, I'm guessing the durability would be really disappointing.The absolute best retroreflectors are corner cubes, but they need an air gap meaning that small regions have to be sealed all the way around the edges to prevent water ingress. It's not impossible, but again, you'll be fiddling with details that you shouldn't have to.Here's an example of this product. https://www.amazon.com/TapeCase-3430-0-5in-White-Reflective/dp/B007Y7I1LWNote the grey pattern that seals the shiny regions to keep water out. Everywhere you cut the seal, water will defeat the reflectivity.What you really want is a beaded retroreflector, preferably with a silver backing to increase the reflection. Look for a uniform look (with no seal pattern). You can get different colors, but white will always reflect most strongly (and avoid blue and green for sure if you want to use IR)

https://www.amazon.com/3M-Scotchlite-Reflective-Silver-36-Inch/dp/B000BQSY6K

Even the smallest sliver of this tape will reflect back to the light's source, although I don't know if this particular tape is thin enough and the adhesive strong enough to really pull down on a tightly curved shaft. Honestly, I'd stick it down with some epoxy or superglue if it didn't obviously conform.

I've had some of this tape (or a similar beaded version) on my bicycling shoes for years. Bits have rubbed off and it looks ragged since I heavily use the toes and heals to push and pull on things, but I've been really impressed that where I didn't actually rub it, it has stayed on.

FULL DISCLOSURE -- I work for 3M. I don't get paid to post on social media, but I am required to disclose my employment when I discuss 3M products so here's my 3M throwaway. There are other 3M and non 3M retroreflective options out there you should consider. I honestly just picked the first two products on Amazon that showed up on my Google search (and to be fair, my Google search probably knows I sometimes look for 3M products).

[EDIT] One more note -- using IR is really weird in this application. Retroreflective material will shoot light back at the source, so it'll flash brightly whether you're using IR or visible light. Honestly, unless you're being chased by zombies, I'd just use a bright flashlight to look for things tagged with retroreflective material. If you don't have a ridiculously powerful flashlight powered by lithium ion cells, go over to /r/flashlight and they'll sort you out.

u/lavendarlandslide · 6 pointsr/LSD

Oh maaan, well Shambs was actually my first ever... everything. First rave, first festival, first trip, first time experiencing EDM. My friends took me under their wing (they have a tradition of spoiling a newbie every year) so I mostly followed them around. Dirtmonkey was memorable AF, I danced around and put for rectal use only stickers on everybody's totem that was there. Pigeon Hole's sunday night set was awesome (despite them being a fill-in). Boogie T was unreal, we just sat at the front of the Pagoda and let PK fuck us up haha. Neon Steve was super rad cause I got to go on stage, BTSM was one of the few artists I was familiar with PRIOR to shams, and honestly I discovered Rezz and fell in love with her! I'm lowkey bummed I missed Dimond Saints and Whipped Cream tho. Overall, 12/10 experience. Changed my life. I will absolutely be there next time with much much much more appreciation for the artists now that I'm more familiar with them and loving the music.

u/cmagnuson · 5 pointsr/boostedboards

I purchased Shred Lights for my v1 board and I don't like them. They're tough to remove/clip on, touching them instantly covers your fingers with road grime, and they don't light up enough of the pavement to safely ride at full speed. Remembering to remove them to charge and remembering to remount them again after charging is also bothersome.

When I ride at night, I wear a headlamp around my thigh and a red LED reflective belt around my waist. Light and Motion makes the highest quality lights I've ever used and their customer support is fantastic. I definitely recommend the Solite 250 EX. The reflective LED belt I linked to isn't special, but it does the job of making you visible from behind.

Because the headlamp is elevated off the ground by a few feet, it doesn't cast long shadows like board-mounted headlights do. It can also be angled so that it lights up the ground some distance in front of the board so that riding at full speed is safe. A headlamp around your thigh also allows the light to move left and right when you turn, allowing you to see your way around corners. While it may feel goofy to wear at first, a thigh-mounted headlamp works extremely well on a Boosted Board.

I also cover the side of the deck with reflective tape so that I'm a little more visible from the side. This reflective tape is perfectly sized for the job.

u/Antranik · 2 pointsr/bicycling

I agree that the reflectors are a great idea. Here is some awesome reflective tape! you could put anywhere on your bike! The wheels or pedals are great spots because they are moving and will catch a drivers attention super fast. I agree that headlamps make for an excellent light! Wal-mart sells pretty good ones for $5. I recommend people in the market for one to get the small one that has ONE led and uses a small battery as opposed to multiple LED's and bigger batteries because that extra weight is very annoying on your forehead, but if it's a small one and light, it's very comfortable

u/babsbee · 3 pointsr/HomeImprovement

I do a lot of dog sitting and one of the best solutions I've seen is anti-slip tape to put at the edge of each step.
There are tons of options, but this one seems to be the cheapest.

Tape: https://www.amazon.com/White-Clear-Anti-Slip-Safety/dp/B00MI8B8K8

Also, a baby gate for when you're not home may come in handy. Just an extra step to make sure your pup stays safe and happy :)

u/PotatosAreDelicious · 4 pointsr/motorcycles

It's very simple. Get something like this and then this for the smaller stripe.
You could do it without a clear coat but the clear coat will make it more resistant to pealing/chipping/more permanent. If you do decide to do a clear coat it's not coming off unless you sand the clear coat and your paint off.
Most helmets/bikes come like this from the factory with their vinyl stickers etc placed on and then just clear coated over.

u/wallysmith127 · 12 pointsr/boardgames

Great list! Adding QOL/bling improvements to games is definitely one of my favorite aspects of the hobby.

Some of my personal favorite add-ons:

  • Vinyl tape: Reusable, cheap, adds zero bulk to stacks of cards. (Edit: Damn, when I bought the tape it was $3.94. Now it's $10.13. But there are 1.5" rolls from the same manufacturer for $3.29)

  • Uberstax: Highly customizable modular plastic pieces especially useful for large hands of cards (Gloomhaven) and card markets (Argent: The Consortium). Not cheap though.

  • Stickers: Building on a post here a long time ago where winners would sign the box lids, we started buying stickers to go alongside the signatures.
u/sir_rideout · 2 pointsr/bikecommuting

If local laws permit, the 319 bridge over the river looks like a safer bet than the 153 due to its much wider shoulder. I didn't see any signs on the onramp prohibiting bikes on the highway, but check with the Department of Highways (or whatever its called in Tennessee) to be sure.

I suggest picking up front and rear lights ($25-30 should get you a basic set), and some sort of high visibility vest (like this or this). If you're riding after dark, some reflective tape on the bike would make you stand out in headlights.

Good luck, and stay safe.

u/prc90 · 1 pointr/motorcycles

Depending upon the back pack you can add some reflective tape to it help you been seen. 3M sells some pretty inexpensive reflective tape that I used on my riding back pack. This stuff sticks to pretty much anything and you don't need a ton of it for it to be very effective. I made a diamond shape on the center of my back pack then flanked it with some strips of tape. I also added a strip on the top of the straps by my shoulders.

u/Gixug · 5 pointsr/bicycling

We're bike brothers! I have the exact same bike. :)

Just a note, the paint will scuff around the areas where the black cable routing rubs against the white paint. I'd get a roll of helicopter tape and put some strips right under those spots.

I also recommend ditching the white tires and the white bar tape. That was one of the first things I did because after about two rides, they're both completely grey.

Congrats on the bike! You obviously have excellent taste. ;)

I have some of the cheep 36" 3m tape (in white) and shining a light on it in a dark garage it definitely helps, has held up great though mud/rain.

The DOT certified tape is probably better (same stuff you see on semi-trailers). Looks like it has bigger hex reflector pattern.

u/Aerik · 1 pointr/bicycling

These are exactly what I have on my spokes, they work really well. I also took the extra hub stickers and put them on my helmet instead.

Also in auto parts stores or paint stores (interestingly) or the corresponding departments of a larger store, you can find reflective tape. So far I've found white and red. I also usually find it right next to an identically sized green tape, but that one's not reflective, so don't fall for it. It'll be about two inches wide and not that long, it's kind of expensive. like this (though what I found wasn't that expensive)

If you cut it half as wide you can put it down the smaller parts of your frame (such as the chain guide), on pedal cranks, strips on your helmet, on any chain/cog guards, and if you really have steady and accurate fingers, around your spokes just like the Light weights stickers. Use full-width strips to make rings on the fuller parts of your frame.

I even took a leftover bit of the reflective tape and put it on the vinyl tube of my hydration pack, which hangs from the right strap. When I tuck it up into the left strap, I have a perfectly symmetrical reflective line across my chest.

I suppose if you don't mind wasting a whole lot of tape, or using a bunch of odd leftover scraps, you could lay the tape over the divots in your helmet and use a razor blade to cut out exactly the elliptical shape that's concave relative to the convex overall shape of your helmet. That would be cool to see. I don't have the guts yet.

The tapes can often be more reflective than the cheapo reflectors that come with your bike, so it's also not at all a bad idea to cover those surfaces as well.

Finally there' s the biggest amount of coverage you could possibly get, cover your frame. Or less extreme but definitely beyond the norm, buy fenders and cover those.

u/gambiter · 1 pointr/exjw

This has done the trick for me. At this point, my fade is complete, and I've realized I don't even care if they come to my house... but I've literally seen them walk up, see the sign (above the doorbell) and turn and walk away. It's pretty great.

u/sdphoto35 · 4 pointsr/Bushcraft

Just learned a great trick not to long ago. Putting some reflective tape will help you find things even in daylight and work amazing at night in camp. Helped me find my knife already and I put some on my tarp lines so I don't trip on them after a late night bathroom break. Got mine at the auto store.

u/deepteeth · 3 pointsr/financialindependence

Do you have a light-colored jacket you always wear? Rather than a safety vest, just grab some super reflective tape and put it on your jacket, bike, helmet, panniers, etc. Definitely worth investing in a bright, rechargeable light set as well.

u/BreeStephany · 1 pointr/Tools

You could always make shadowed socket holders out of Kaizen foam and place the sockets exactly where you want them. You can use a hot knife, long thin razor knife and/or a hole saw kit to make cut-outs for your sockets.


A wood burning kit like THIS works great on the foam for making finger grip holes and for cleaning up the bottoms of shadowed spots that are less than the thickness of the foam.


FastCap's long nose permanent markers are great for marking out the patterns of your sockets or other tools for you to cut on.

​

Just my two cents.

u/BranWafr · 7 pointsr/Parenting

Duct Strap, Hanger Strap, Plumbers tape. It goes by many names, but roughly the same thing. You can get it in plastic or metal for pretty cheap. I always have a roll or two on hand.

u/fidelitypdx · 3 pointsr/HomeImprovement

To divide the area between my porch and my neighbor's porch I installed a plant trellis.

Basically, using cheap emt conduit a few connectors, and nylon trellis, I was able to construct a trellis that plants could easily grow on. I grow hops, peas, and achocha on it. It doesn't create total privacy, but it allows me to grow some useful edibles for 2/3rds of the year. The plants are grown in large pots (20 gallon). I secured the whole trellis to rails using plumbers tape and a couple screws and bolts.

The trellis system is cheap, the potted plants, pots, and soil is where it will get expensive. So, if you want to invest in gardening or growing your own food, this is a good start.

u/IsaacClarkeSNL · 1 pointr/motorcycles

I don't want to sound like your mom or anything butt it might be worth getting some black reflective tape so people see you better at night. I have an all black bike and when me and my father swapped bikes at night if you were viewing him from the side or even quartering he was pretty damn invisible. Just speaking from experience.

Stuff like this.

u/BagelEaterMan · 1 pointr/bicycling

I've attached these to my frame and helmet, they've lasted through 2 heavy winters. I found a 1cm wide section wraps almost perfectly around most spokes and is visible from a good distance. If you're creative you can trace designs onto it and cut them out with an x-acto knife.

It's easy enough to add some grip tape near the nose of each stair. It gives much better traction when you're in socks, and it makes it easier to see the edge of each step.

https://www.amazon.com/Black-Anti-Slip-Safety-Tape-Traction/dp/B01E7G1AU6/ref=sr_1_cc_8?s=aps&ie=UTF8&qid=1466617512&sr=1-8-catcorr&keywords=grip+tape+for+stairs

Congrats! One thing I use on mine for better visibility is night tape. Something like this: http://www.amazon.com/Motorcycle-Reflective-Safety-Tape-Adhesive/dp/B000NPNXP6

Is black during the day but VERY reflective at night. Made a huge difference on the back of my ST4s.

u/mercurysinking · 1 pointr/AskElectronics

Your question is a little vague, but retroreflectors sound like they might work. You can purchase some here, although there might be better places online to get it.

u/AndyTheEngr · 2 pointsr/MINI

Receiver hitch from minimania.com . Rack is very basic, this one:

https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B004QEKGA0

​

I added most of the red retroreflective tape and replaced some of the bolts with stainless eyebolts from the hardware store.

​

The straps go to the two attachment rings at the front of the trunk, up and over the trunk lid where I've protected the paint with some helicopter tape.

https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B000O6BQMG

​

The instructions for the receiver hitch said not to attach a cantilevered load like this without reinforcing with straps.

​

I don't have this thing on very often, but we're going camping tonight and it will be a lot easier to pack this way. I'll probably just have the cooler on it.

u/Adventurepew · 2 pointsr/MTB

You can buy helicopter tape for cheap.

https://www.amazon.com/ISC-Helicopter-OG-Surface-Tape-Outdoor/dp/B000O6BQMG

tape everywhere that will rub on the bike, even top tubes . keeps the frame looking like new. prevents cable rub, and its clear and very hard to see.

your frame will be fine, stick a patch of tape over the area so it doesnt get worse.

u/colloidaloatmeal · 10 pointsr/chicago

For people who can't blow a ton of $ on lights, this stuff may help.

It's not as important as a really bright light, but it's better than nothing.

u/Devonmoyer1 · 4 pointsr/RectalStickers

Amazon but apparently we bought them out of stock for now which I see as an awesome accomplishment

u/beSmrter · 1 pointr/boardgames

Dry Vinyl Tape is the thing.
+Generally more cost effective that Hugo's (currently $3.18 for 100ft of 1.5inch)
+Doesn't look so weird in your search history
-it is slightly thinner than Hugo's, but plenty strong and I haven't found it to be an issue
-minimal color selection (i.e. only black)

u/ReyRey5280 · 1 pointr/bicycling

Helicoptor tape on amazon $25 looks solid, but kind of pricey when I only need about 6 square inches tops and I cant think of anything else I'd use it for.

u/Zediac · 21 pointsr/gifs

Looks like modern high performance reflective tape on flat front glasses. I wonder how well it would work with some Reflexite on wayfarers or something like this.

u/vhalros · 5 pointsr/bicycling

If you want to do something crafty with your daughter, you could try to cut some of this 3m reflective tape into interesting shapes: http://www.amazon.com/3M-Scotchlite-Reflective-Silver-36-Inch/dp/B000BQRIV2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1452464185&sr=8-1&keywords=3m+reflective+tape. My experience with that tape is that it is very reflective, but you'll want to replace it after a couple years.

If you want something reflective on the spokes, these work pretty well: http://www.amazon.com/Lightweights-Power-Reflectors-Wheels-86-Piece/dp/B002KYFWQ6/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1452464201&sr=8-4&keywords=reflective+bicycle+spoke

Also, Vespertine makes some reflective flower pins and such. My wife has one, so I can tell you they are definately very reflective, but they are kind of silly expensive: http://shop.vespertinenyc.com/category/jewelry. I'm not sure exactly where I can just get a sheet of whatever they are made of to make my own stuff.

u/hoffguy · 1 pointr/projectcar

do yourself a favor and use a self sealing tape or dry vinyl tape. It's cheap, and won't turn into a mess like electrical tape will on a harness.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00823GUP6/

u/Broken_S_Key · 2 pointsr/longboarding

I have a zefal bike light attached to my backpack like so.

I was also going to get this reflective tape the other day to line the bottom of my helmet in, but then I decided that being able to go incagnito incognito (downtown chicago at night; cops and thugs) if I need to is better and that the light is enough for now.

u/DatumPirate · 1 pointr/motorcycles

You could also add some reflective tape to your helmet if you already have one. Won't be noticeable during the day like a high-vis color, but it really helps at night.

u/corvettecrazy · 1 pointr/toolboxmods

I found this long nose marker very helpful when shadowing some of the drawers in my tool box. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002NQPEE6/

Also, fresh box cutters helped greatly.

u/jrossetti · 1 pointr/AirBnB

Otherwise you can set up a camera to notify or text a certain number when it gets too loud and use that. You'll need to test the sensitivity.

I've used racers tape for years. It works perfectly for areas where cables contact the frame. It also doesn't peel at the edges.

For some labeling fun that's more legal, may I suggest "For rectal use only" stickers?

They're smaller, so they're fun to put on screwdrivers, remotes, etc

You want a noise monitor. I’ve seen pictures of this being used in a library to help with noise levels. I’d search on Amazon for “noise monitor” and go from there if that one is too expensive for you.

Spray & Forget moss removal should take care of the slipperyness and the Gator Grip Traction sticks very well. I've used both on outdoor deck stairs and haven't had them un-stick over the passing of a few years.

Not sure what it is called, in faders I think it's a little more robust, probably silicone rubber. But most electrical tape is dielectric vinyl, which would probably work fine. Just search for some non-adhesive vinyl or cotton tape, (sometimes called "wiring harness tape"). Here's some "dry vinyl" tape on amazon.

As someone with bunk beds and young kids, I recommend you put some anti-slip grip tape on that ladder. Especially with a 3 year old using it. One of my kids slipped on a smooth ladder like that and smashed his face on a rung, require a midnight trip to the ER and stitches inside his mouth. Lots of blood... it was a horrible night.

Also, make sure the kids can't remove the ladder.

I got one of these signs, and it might just be coincidence, but since I put it up a couple months ago, I have had ZERO uninvited people come to my door, where before I'd have third-party energy shillers/clean water people/public radio fundraisers/etc at least a couple times a month (and that was just during non-business hours when I happened to be home).

Here we are required to have reflective tape on the back of our helmets. I guess you could write a short message with it, like "BACK OFF" (I for one made a big cross with it on the back. Because it seems to me to be more noticeable than the standard single line)

I used this for my stuff. But its thin, so itd be a pain for tracing a decal out.

There are 2 inch versions that would be easier to use. Finding the color you want might be hard. Example 1, Example 2

It looks like plain electrical tape until you shine a light on it when its dark.

You could try that^ I bought some and plastered my helmet with it. Seems to stick well. There's a reviewer who says it has stayed on their messenger bag and everything else he's put it on.

u/Heeres_Johnny · 2 pointsr/homegym

I haven't run into that problem with my platform yet, but it's possible that you could get a stair traction strip like this and put on the surface of the platform under where your feet would normally go.

Another possibility would be to use some type of wood stair/sealer and mix in a small amount of fine grain sand with it to give the platform some texture? I'd lean more towards the first option though.

You can also buy 3M reflective tape and cut to whatever length and shape you want to stick on your wheels and frame. The 3M stuff is very high quality and stays on. It also removes cleanly.

> Splice them into your trailer wiring

That's what I did. I went up about 4" from the 7-pin plug, cut the necessary wires, used uninsulated butt connectors with a closed-barrel crimper and adhesive-lined heat shrink to splice in a 6-pin Deutsch DT connector pigtail, then built my own wiring harness that plugs into the Deutsch connector and ran it up to the headache rack.

Went with the 6-pin Deutsch connector since I only needed 5 of the 7 wires (LT, RT, Tail, Backup, and Ground) and 5-pin Deutsch connectors aren't available. Deutsch DT connectors are frequently used in the automotive aftermarket (probably more so than Delphi Weatherpack connectors). I know Rigid Industries uses them for their LED lights, and Smith Race Wire uses them for parts of their custom wiring harnesses.

Also, since you can only close-barrel crimp one end of the uninsulated butt connectors, I chose to close-barrel crimp the side that had only one wire (since closed-barrel crimping is more secure, and the one wire was looser in the connector) and used Channel Lock 909 Pliers to crimp the end with two wires.

Once you made your harness, make sure you slip it into some split wiring loom. Using a loom insertion tool makes quick work of that. Wrap the wiring loom with non-adhesive dry vinyl tape for a factory-finished look and to avoid a gooey, sticky mess in case you need to unwrap the wiring harness in the future.

Finally, a good wire stripper will save your hands a lot of fatigue compared to using a standard wire stripper that you have to always pull the wire through.

u/Obscxne · 3 pointsr/mildlyinteresting

Hijacking your comment, my friend bought these on amazon and put them on all our shit at work. Fucking dick

u/way2funni · 2 pointsr/cycling

Couple things to add for the shopping list: especially for the 3am part:

Safety Vest

Slap light for left ankle to identify your edge

Lights

About $25 for the above.

Rear mirror

Make sure the bike has the standard reflectors on the spokes, pedals, front and back as well.

Reflective tape if you are riding an all black or dark bike - wrap strips around your spokes, frame and seatpost

Some would say ALL THE ABOVE TOGETHER Is overkilling it and maybe it is all it takes is one semi-drunk who did a couple too many shots blasting down some rural road at 4am doing 90mph to end you.

Even just a glancing blow off the side of a big 4x4 mirror rig could fuck you up bad and NOW YOU'RE DOWN.

You're laying on the side (if you're lucky and didn't get hung up and dragged) of a rural road at 5am waiting for the next drunk to come along and finish the job.

This is a real concern.

Now if this happens and you are wearing dark clothes on a black bike with no reflectors they could end up hitting you before they ever see you especially when you add dark (limo) tinted windows + stereo blasting and subwoofers thumping.

Now add texting on the phone to the equation.

It's all over. You're roadkill.

You need to make yourself more than just a little visible. They need to see you from a fricken mile away. even if you are sprawled out in the street.

TIP: I use the slap light so they can see where the edge of me actually IS. I usually hang it on the left end of my handlebar - on my rearview mirror. Or on my left ankle so there is a light moving up and down along with pedal reflectors - that says 'dude on a bike up ahead'.

u/jtinz · 5 pointsr/bicycling

It fucks up the aesthetics, adds weight and anything screwed on can rattle or come off. Especially when you ride a road bike with high tyre pressure on cobblestones.

That's why I replaced my reflectors with reflective tape. Especially the 3M foil is more visible than the typical plastic reflectors.

Practically no weight, won't come off and doesn't look as messy. There's even tape that's black in diffuse light. However, the reflection angle of that is very narrow. So it's a questionable compromise.
