How to Apply
Grip tape is relatively easy to apply, but due to the tools required, should be left to adults.
Firstly, remove your old grip tape. Use a hairdryer to heat the edges so you can peel it off.
Cut the grip tape down to rough side. Stick it to the deck, then use a stanley knife to make the cut shape precise. You can then use sandpaper to smooth the edges.
It's as simple as that.
