Just a tip

If you are ever redoing your griptape and when you take off your old grip, there's tons of glue, just use some WD-40 (spray it all over the board and let it sit for like 5 minutes) and the glue comes off really easily. Cool

Cyclone268, if you're reapplying grip what's the point of removing the glue anyway?

skimboarder, It will get a better stick to the board its self, not the old glue on the board.

Just for a second, just to see how it feels.

Must be an integrity, because I have never heard of anybody re gripping a wood board.

gporter, my oak has been regripped two times. this thing just won't die.

i always just regripped over the glue and it always holds fine.

slothboy420, You just owned this thread.

And what with all the waiting going on around here people waiting for their integrities, I'm sure they appreciate you helping them cut more waiting time out of their lyfe.

gporter, talk to anyone with a 2008 lf board that's been ridden 2 or more times. I'm sure they have all regripped their wooden boards. and no one i personally know has has to re grip their integ. and some of these are dating back 2 years...

integ= 2 years, no re grip
Lf= 2 days re grip

Classy, grip wears down and gets slick. i regrip my decks when they start to feel slick.

tad, Laughing

wakemitch, Jama's integ still doesnt feel slick. However my 40.5 will already have to be re gripped after 1 day of riding. Due to the grip getting ripped off.

Classy, it depends on what type of grip they have on it, not the company. saying lf or integ is null. jessup vs some chinese grip tape obviously jessup is going to last longer.

i used acetone on my integrity

MattG · Posted: Sep 01, 2008 7:15 pm Post subject:

I'm a little hesitant to use such a harsh chemical (acetone) on my beauty

kornhouse, did it take any of the finish off or was it harmless?

EJazzle · Posted: Sep 01, 2008 7:22 pm Post subject:

MattG, totally harmless.

MattG · Posted: Sep 02, 2008 6:25 am Post subject:

EJazzle, ok thanks.

kornhouse · Posted: Sep 02, 2008 9:44 am Post subject:

MattG, nope, the sun yellowed the board out where the grip wasn't covering it.
