It’s not too bad. Use a hairdryer to warm up the grip tape, then use a razor or knife to peel up one of the edges. Keep heating it up as you peel off the grip tape. Once it’s all off you can use a residue remover like Goo Gone or something similar to get off any adhesive. Here’s a few videos on how to do it. [VIDEO] [VIDEO]
After a week? Damn! Grip should not have holes like that even after a year (in that spot atleast) What, did you also put grip on the bottom of your shoes? Lmao seriously tho I’ve never seen this, Ive been using mob grip I think it’s the best bang for your buck. I would patch this hole and if any other form, just try to take it off and replace it w higher quality grip. Tactics has a tutorial on YouTube on taking off g
If you have a heat gun or hair dryer it should be decently easy. You’ll need a razor blade/pocket knife, the hair dryer, and a trash can nearby. Heat up the grip tape using the hair dryer and slowly use the blade to peel underneath(while standing on the other end of the board) and repeat while moving down the board. like this [VIDEO] this one seems better though [VIDEO]
