    @FenixnatorDANL Buy a Stanley knife, and crack it open. That’s where you find those. I mostly steal them from Art class :)

    Hi i got a big question and i would love an answer.
    When i was new to skateboarding i got a decent board but i had to get new griptape, once i had stuck it on, i didnt do the whole marking it out crap, i just cut around roughly, now there are little pieces of griptape hanging loose that i cant remove. Or dont know how to.
    Any suggestions?

    i find that it is easier, faster, and cleaner to just file the extra grip tape off, because i don’t have steady hands. Just a suggestion
