Can You Redo Grip Tape On A Skateboard? [Solved]
Gently work the blade around the edges of the board, using the hair dryer to soften it up if needed. Then, blast it with heat for a couple minutes to really loosen up that tape. Finally, stand on one foot and start peeling away at one end - easy does it!
Clean the Deck: Before you start, make sure to clean the deck of your skateboard with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or debris.
Remove Old Grip Tape: Use a razor blade or other sharp tool to carefully remove the old grip tape from your skateboard deck. Be sure to take your time and be careful not to damage the board in the process.
Measure and Cut New Grip Tape: Measure out enough grip tape for your skateboard deck and cut it into shape using scissors or a utility knife. Make sure that it is slightly larger than the area you are covering so that it will fit properly when applied.
Apply New Grip Tape: Peel off the backing of your new grip tape and apply it onto your skateboard deck, starting at one end and working towards the other end in an overlapping pattern until all of it is applied evenly across the board’s surface.
Trim Excess Tape: Once all of your new grip tape is applied, use a razor blade or other sharp tool to trim away any excess material around edges for a neat finish
Gettin’ a new grip tape for your skateboard? You’ll be shreddin’ in no time! It’s an easy fix - just peel off the old stuff and slap on the new. Don’t forget to give it a good press so it sticks. There you go - you’re ready to roll!
