Is Our Quest Finally Over?

We’ve been struggling with a solution for temporary gym floor marking for about a year now, and it looks like we may have finally solved a vexing problem.

I had a chance to attend the home opener for UNC’s Womens Volleyball Team (congratulations on your win over Villanova) as part of the Carolna Classic at Carmichael Auditorium.

We have been working closely with Joe Sagula, UNC’s coach this fall, and he has graciously helped us to test Permacel 724 Paper Tape for temporary gym floor marking. He’s been a great help.

The floor at Carmichael is an historic one. This is where Michael Jordan led a UNC team in their home games as they marched toward the 1982 NCAA mens basketball championship. Floor damage would be out of the question.

I watched several matches on Friday and the Permacel 724 seemed to hold up very well. The temporary lines were amazingly straight and the end lines (the ones that really take a beating) held up to heavy foot traffic. This gym floor also serves as the home for UNC’s womens basketball team, so it sees a lot of temporary floor markings.

Thanks in part to the thorough testing at UNC, we have tentatively arranged for the US Volleyball Assoc. to endorse this product and we have seen sales to lots of other NCAA volleyball programs.

It was frustrating for us when the makers of SafeOff were unwilling to stand behind their product, but we did not hesitate to drop them.

We are grateful to Shurtape, the makers of 724, for stepping up to the line.
