It was a strip for stairs. There was a yellow reflective stripe running through it but I just cut that piece out. Picked it up at menards for like 4 or 5 bucks. Made 4 sets out of it. Its very gritty almost like roofing shingles at first but if you keep rubbing it after its in place some of the grit falls off and its perfect. WAY better than talons. Just make sure you heat them up and keep applying pressure once they r on and they will stick great.
