What PSP Says;

It can be used in a variety of applications, such as onto mast and spreaders
guard rails, under the boom and around the pad eyes, blocks and deck hardware.
This high performance tape is supplied with a throw-away blue backing sheet ideal to cut to
shape and install on all surfaces that may be damaged from rope burns.
These include cockpit coamings, gunwale edges etc.
It can also be applied in areas coming into contact with sails,
