Is your foam grip tape in need of repair on your ESK8? Need some ideas on how to fix it? Here is a short vid on how I repair the grip tape and/or the foam on my ESK8s.
Very interesting video. I had the same issue with my board. I am an heavy rider so different pieces of the grip tape started to peel off the board as the temperature increased. So, I replaced the original grip tape by a dope grip tape I Cut in larger pieces. It changes the design of the board but these grip tape pieces are glued strogner to the board so they have better resistance to my weight and to the warm weather. Cheers !
I got the same trouble on my GTS carbon super and it happens even more when it is hot : if i ride during a hot day, the foam seems to deteriorate easily. To fix the grip on the foam, i put some loctite 402 drop on the foam. I have to say that the grip of the first version, the GTS carbon pro, was much more resistant and much more thick. I may have to change it either by dope grip which has an ouststanding grip.
Interesting...I have had a few pads that have completely come off. I have reattached them using my method and they have held pretty well. BUT, a lot of the foam has shifted on the board or completely come off. I have replaced almost 75% of the grip tape pieces on the board. Keep us updated if you swap out your foam grip. Will be interested to see what you did and how it is working for you. Thanks for the view and comment. Ride hard, Carve safe, and have a GREAT day!!
Hey Dude…thanks for the view and comments. Let us know what it is about the Onsra grip that you like. Not questioning your choice, just want to know more…might change my mind. Again, thanks…Ride hard…Carve safe…Have a great day!
⚡ 'I've used a thin layer of shoe goo or gorilla contact glue* when the foam comes off the deck at the tips, to stick it back down, as they both come off easily from the smooth deck once dry if it goes wrong ⚡ Wouldn't recommend it if it happens again in the same spot though. Your method is great when the grip tape comes off the foam itself 👏🏼👏🏼 Smart!! 🤙🏼🤙🏼
I thought about that option...as a matter of fact, I have the Gorilla glue here. I opted for the double-sided duct tape kind of because of what you said about maybe having to reglue. So far, my method has worked pretty well...for both. I have ridden in some pretty hot weather for a long period of time, and the tape has not shifted between the foam and board. That was a concern that it might heat up and begin to slide. More time will be needed and more riding...definitely more riding. Appreciate the feed back man! I like to hear from fellow riders as to their setups, thoughts, ideas. One huge community supporting each other. Ride hard, Carve safe, and have a GREAT day!!
