There was a post about using lotion on your foam tape to increase it's grip, but I figured that this needed it's own topic. If not, I do apologize in advance
I've been using this stuff for when my fingers are just too slick to grip my board. i.e. right after washing hands or getting out of the shower.


Finger moistener for handeling paper and money


This stuff works great! It's very cheap and can be found at most dollar stores. It only requires a tiny bit to get the grip you need. x)

Just thought it'd be a good tip for some people. Does anyone else use this stuff, or can I safely gloat about my new found discovery?

never even heard of what it is, can you post a picture of the stuff?

^Its just hand gel that people who have swinefluphobia carry in their bag, really cheap and found at somewhere like boots xD

I don't use it, I just rub my hands on my shirt if they're greasy and everything works fine!

Fingerboarding with wet hands?

Ew, no thanks.

^ And just saying that is making me quit nao.

I spray alcohol and wipe my hands on my pants. Just wiping makes my hands feel dirty.

Haha, it doesn't make your fingers wet, guys xP. You just use a tiny bit of it and rub it in, and it makes your fingers moist so that you can handle paper and stuff better. Kinda like hand sanitizer, rub it in and it dries, but still makes your hands moist and grippy. It will make them wet and greasy-like if you use a ton of it, and that probably will cause some serious discomfort, but I don't use nearly that much. The two URL images I tried to add aren't showing up for some reason :/

I have no problems with any type of foam tape. I've only had this problem with fine griptape.

sounds sick!
