Isn't that a little slippery on non-carpeted floors?

I've been using red rosin paper taped down to my hardwood floors
with painter's tape.

If you are gonna cover the entire floor , which I do , old fashion tar paper
over lapped and taped together with duct tape works best..It in effect seals
the floor from mishaps with no trip hazards...I use it for drywall and
painting...I hate drop cloths and use plastic to cover furniture ,
ect...When you have to pay for mistakes to other peoples floors and
furniture you cover it GOOD...LOL...
