i have a starboard its only spent about 30 hours in the water and the anti slip pad has come away from the board.
has anyone else had this problem?
How do i remove the old glue and what do i use to stick it back?
I used to rave about how good this board was now i would not recomed them.
Soak a rag in turps and lay it on the old adhesive then put some thick plastic over the top so it overlaps the rag and tape it to the board. 1/2 a day and the adhesive should just wipe off. I did this to remove the adhesive i used to stick on a nose protector i put on a board that i bought for my wife after my local shop advised this method. It worked really well and didn't affect the board at all (Naish). Selleys Kwik Grip Gel is good because it sticks really well and doesn't string out or drip when your applying it so there is no mess. I can't see why this adhesive removal method wouldn't work the same way and not damage your board but no guarantee's.
Shows what todays litigation happy society has done to us when you feel you have to put a waiver on advice. It's ridiculous really
