grip tape

[skateboarderman]

okay i bouth some grip tape how do i put i on my board?

[Gforce]

www.ccs.com has a nice tutorial on how to do that stuff...

[zeronoah]

thats where i figured out how to do mine, my friends say that it looks like someone at a shop did it, no tears, no wrinkles, no air pockets/bubbles. it worked pretty well.

You gotta put it on like putting on a Bumper Stick go from the Middle out, them file around the edges with a carpenter file this will leave a line for you to cut around. Make sure all the Bubbles are out first.

Yea and that roller thing is a good thing to have too...It removes bubbles

[big_hair_pimpin]

yes it is. a roller is one of the most underused and important things to use

[NIGhtMAre]

yup :D

[big_hair_pimpin]

nightmare is a smart cat, you youngins learn that.
wow that rhymed

[MaRgErA]

lol... when your putting on griptape do you need to take truck screws out or does the griptape have holes in it?

[big_hair_pimpin]

um you have to punch holes yourself.

[MaRgErA]

what size are theye?

[MaRgErA]

i forgot to ask what do you use to puch them?

[BakerStencil]

I just shuv the bolt through the tape were I think the hole is.

[MaRgErA]

thats s good plan

[NIGhtMAre]

yea, thats how they did at the skate shop, just shoved a pen into the hole.

[dudey]

just figure it out. its not that hard.

[Skate or Try]

no what ya do is take the deck without any hardware cut the grip and stick it on then make holes. Turn the deck upside down, get a bolt and punch it thrugh the holes.

[shoveljon]

you can just use one of your trucks instead of the roller thing.

[Pimp'd out Punk]

i just use my hands to smooth it out and i take a screw driver and flip my board over and punch holes up thru the tape then screw my trucks down

[big_hair_pimpin]

i use an allen key, cause i have allen hardware. the whole can be as small as u like, its just to get the tip of the bolt thru.
