There was a whole lot of talk about this back when Naish offered to replace anyones deck grip the was lifting.. (when they had a faulty batch)

I think once you've used a scraper or blade you just need to wet it with metho or turps to soften the glue and get something like this snowboard scraper.

thanks again everyone just to add to this post i tried a few things to get up the sticky residue and what i found to be the best by far was WD40 amazing stuff , still took a lot of elbow grease but thankfully i wasn't doing a whole deck.

I have removed deck pads using a hair dryer to soften the glue. It all came off clean with no residue.

The pad had only been on for a few days so I don't know if it would work if the glue has properly bonded to the board.

You just start at a corner and heat the glue then slowly peel, heating as you go.

I have used to clean off contact adhesive and that worked fine.
