CrzyTexan,

Maybe try heating it with a blow dryer to melt the glue than press it back down and hold it... maybe find something like a skate wheel to roll over it.

You can also use a lighter. My friend fixed his skateboard in the back of the city bus with a lighter once. Buncha people were looking at him like "wtf is he doing".

man. Take of a piece of spare grip and rub it along the sides. This will get rid of the overlaping grip on the edges.
