what to with trucks if the axel is unthreaded like brts, now one of my lock nuts dont unscrew. it just moves in place and no it s not the axel cause the other side deosnt spin.?????

I dropped my fingerboard into a sink full of water yesterday. I put it in a bucket of rice to suck out all the moisture so the bearings don't rust, but now I have rice dust stuck in my wheels. How do I clean the bearings and was that really a smart thing to do?

Do you mean the veneer curls when you are applying the glue?

That happens more often when you're using a water based glue. You cant really do anything about it besides putting on the coats of glue faster

Not a question, more of a concern. I have been noticing a lot of elitism on this site towards newer fingerboarders. That really sucks. We all started somewhere and need to welcome these people to our hobby if we ever expect it to grow. I understand telling a new person not to make a thread about every question they have or pointing out if they break one of the rules. but doing it in a rude manor is really lame.

just my 2 cents

I've noticed that to lately.

no offense dude, but you called a kid an idiot and a dumb fuck in a thread when you easily could have taken the higher road and ignored his catty comment. Lead by example.

thats because he was rude to me first. i wont be mean to someone unless they are to me first.

Your sig .__.

I have solved my problem now. I just use a thin piece of cardboard to spread the glue out with as Bobbernaut told me.
It works perfect, the veneer doesn't bend and it gets a perfect layer of glue

Can't wait to see them finished off, the red one you were using looks amazing.

Or tune your tech deck and when you get a wooden fingerboard, swap it over to the wooden board?

I intend on upgrading the bushing on some tech deck longboard trucks and putting them on a berlinwood wide.

yeah, do that man!

What companies would be good for upgrades? Nologo does them right?

yeah, no logo, rip tape bushings there is a few companys

You can also make your own bushings by cutting the rubber from some 1.5mm^2 electrical wire into small pieces.

I would definitely recommend No Logo bushings!
