This is an excellent product (I'm usually happy with 3M's line of adhesive tapes). It adhered very well to my polyurethaned oak steps. Follow the directions and use a J-roller or other tool to firmly set the tape. It blends very well with the oak and is not a major eye-sore. (Although your eyes may be different than mine (sic).) Be sure to clean the steps very well before applying the tape. I first used soap and water to wash the area; and after letting it dry I used denatured alcohol to remove any residue. Be careful using alcohol--it's flammable and doesn't "play" very nicely with some finishes, like shellac. Remove any sticky residue if there was previous tape on your floor (I used acetone, but use with caution and test in an inconspicuous place, and follow all safety guidelines (e.g., ventilation, etc.). Also make sure the floor is FLAT. Any small bumps (like a hardened drop of old paint) should be removed. Use a cabinet scraper (if you have one and know how to use it) or an appropriate solvent.
It's been on my steps now for about a month and I've not seen any lifting or discoloration or any defect. I want to add that they suggest "rounding" the cuts to avoid any abrupt points. I think this is a very good idea. The tape is much less likely to catch on a vacuum or mop or your foot.
