skull grip job

[joker540]

ok im working on this grip job.... do you expert grippers have any tips for me... i have already cut most of it out... before i lay it down i was wondering if there are any tricks to making the edges really smooth... sodering needle... sand paper.. ect?

grind the edges down with a file, and then in one motion, not in jagged hacks, slice the edge with a razor/exacto knife.

for some reason, i usually end up using a ledge to apply tape

[aaaaaaagh]

does anyone knwo how landyachtz applies grip tape?

it looks like they use something hot to melt through it

[L3aping L3m0n]

Ive seen companies using a laser machine thing to cut it really fast but I dont know how Landy does it

[Daze]

i'm assuming the white parts are going to be blank deck?

i'd say cut a stencil out of cardboard, so all you have to do is put the islands of grip in the hole in the stencil, it'll help you keep them straight and how you want it to look


if that makes sense
