any oils. However, it is highly recommended
to also place screws at each end of the strap,
and every 4 to 5 feet, to ensure it does not
come loose. If using a strong spray adhesive,
apply to both the back of the strap and the
floor where it will be placed, and carefully
follow all spray manufacturer’s instructions
and cautions.
