A couple months ago, I bought a couple rolls of scratchy
safety tape at Harbor Freight, on close out. Figured I could
use some safety tape for the wooden steps outside my home.

Knew the adhesive was probably less than perfect, so I use a
bunch of Arrow T-50 staples in addition. Still, the tape
came loose, and now about half of the tape is ripped,
flopping around, or missing.

What's the technique for adhering safety tape to weathered
wood steps? Some kind of adhesive in addition? Surface prep?
Torch down job?

Follow these directions:
1) Scape off all the old tape and crap on the step.
2) Sand the step to clean wood.
3) Prime the wood with oil based primer.
4) Paint with 2 coats of outdoor poly Porch and Floor paint.
5) Apply the 3M safety tape you should have used years ago.
6) Continue skipping blithely down the steps even in bad weather in
perfect confidence.

There now, wasn't that easy?
You're welcome.
