| ^Blu tack I guess Either that, or screw it into a long piece of wood so that it stays still, and it won't have to be screwed into your table or anything |

| hard bushings will never ride "loose" meaning the steering of the trucks.
soft busings will never ride "tight"
the compound of rubber is what determins how a truck will steer - either be verry hard and stiff = not turning - or a medium compound wich can ride slightly firm or slightly loose - or a soft compound bushing will always ride loose nomatter how tight you tighten your bolt on it. it will just squish down until it explodes before the truck will ride firm. |

Thanks guys. So, it's just a preference? it is just a preference but at the same time looser trucks makes for better flow and style usualy inless you like hard bushings and make ur style and flow usualy look sloppy because u cant carve out of tricks ect |

| why can i not get my plys to dye all the way thru ?
ive got a plastic tub of about 8 oz water - mixed in a whole package of rit dye orange - let plys sit in there for about 36 hours and when i cut off a corner - its still not orange all the way thru the plys.
i am using maple 1/32 thickness i believe.
what should i be trying to use to dye plys instead of rit dye ? because obviously thats not working so good. |
