Ok I admit it I am a dumbass x 3!

I stupidly put the surftech deck grip on Kristi's board. It is a flat surface grip with no ridges and it is barely 4mm thick. I questioned it when I bought it but was assured it would be fine. Well it isnt! in faster turns she slips straight of the deck.

When we put it on it lifted twice, I was told bad batch of 3m glue, so we re stuck the thing with contact cement thinking maybe a 2 year deal before it needs to be replaced.

I have just invested 3 hours trying to get the grip of Kristi's board and I am close to using my electric planner lol. I am currently getting off inch pieces at a time and am about 1/3 the way through.

I know there have been other posts about this but I cannot seem to find them.

Any assistance appreciated.

mate, try a heat blower or hair drier to soften up the glue- be careful- to help get the grip off. i think i have seen grease remover type stuff to get the rest off, on the breeze
good luck

Thanks Paul,

But i dont really want to use a heat gun incase i delam the board. The contact cement i used was a once in a life time job from memory as I dont often do things half way.

Me thinks there is a solvent or two that may dissolve it and hopefully the surftech deck grip too lol.
