Looking for help with griptape

hi im about to changes the griptape on my bamboo what is the Best Way to remove to Stock one and aply the new? Thinking sanding it Down, but what surface is the Best to aply the new? Is it painted or a rough surface? How have other done it?

 

Best to check out youtube for griptape on a standard double kick skatey. But with the bamboo, take your battery & trucks off, as you don't want to griptape over the battery bolts.

Alternatively, you could do 'strips' of grip tape up the length of the board & save removing anything. Post a photo of your finished product

 

I asked Evolve about this once. They suggested using a spray clear grip to apply to the deck.

 

Our could go for something like:

Im mo0re to the spray grip tape that im about to custom paint my board and want the surface to be present and not with clear griptape that it isnt that transparent

 

you can apply new grip tape over the old. Just sand down the old deck top (remove all components first is probably a good idea) a bit and apply the new tape, its really sticky

 

I have just ordered a 1m length of Modus Clear grip tape. its 11" or 33cm wide so should go close to covering.
Going to sand it down and try to keep as much design that is under the spraygrip but i don't like my chances of it staying as even by shoes are rubbing it off

 

Okay looking forward to see your result mine is goin to be sanded Down and sent to paint shop for a custom paintjob.

 

So dumb question, does the stock bamboo deck have clear grip tape or is this a coating applied over the wood and is the stock design/pattern painted on under this or is a decal that could come off too? Thanks!

 

So i went with the clear griptape and what a difference This keep my feet from sliding around compared to the Stock grip.

 

wooooooow...decals expert!!!!

 

Thanks love Customizing my thing

 

Hey Laleyenda, couldn't help but notice the go pro mount on the front! is that actually for a go pro or like I've seen elsewhere for a LED floodlight for in the dark?

 

I use it for both

 

Nice! have you got some insight into what light to buy?

 

I would go with mtb light with external battery if you want great light specially if you drive where there is No streetlight i use This one andre light is okay but isnt That good when there is No street light.
