Ok so this does work from experience.

First you get a piece of packaging tape slightly longer than the length and width of you deck, you place the tape on the deck, slowly going from one side to the other, making sure to get no air bubbles.
Now take a coin of any sort, and rub it into the packaging tape, on the foam tape until you can see the outline of the deck perfectly.
Hold the deck horizontally, and swipe the coin from side to side for 1 minute.
Peel off the packaging tape slowly, and the tape should be a little thinner and more worn in.

Repeat until satisfied.

Nice trick, if I ever find myself with some lame tape I might try this : o but, I have a tape sponsor so its unlikely I will, still, good tip!

You know who he is...


Its not like you think of the EXACT same idea as like 3 other people haha


so your saying you just randomply thought.. "hey im going to try getting some umm... Packeging tape and a coin and see if it wears rip in...

No it's cause you know the material for body suits ( like for surfing) well it's sorta like the same material as rip i think. And when I go surfing... we have to put duck tape on our arms when the waves are strong and peel it off so it will be easier to swim if you fall off. I actually tried it with a guitar pick and FSS tape so hmph.


And isn't petty on fingerdecks... and i swear his name is peter

you said exactly the same thing that peety said

sure
