14. Preparing The Grip Tape

One of my favorite parts of this project was getting to design the grip tape. After tracing out the board onto the paper side of the tape and finding the center I began drawing and then cutting out my sketch with an Exacto knife. To apply the art to the board, I peeled the paper off the back of the grip tape to expose the glue and carefully aligned it over the board and smoothed it out.
My knife wasn’t as sharp as it should have been, hence the rough edges but now I know for next time.



-This is what I ended up choosing for the design-
