The big picture? Rubber soles are made from a mix of different rubbery compounds, sometimes natural, soft, latex rubber which does grow on, or maybe in trees, but more frequently these days synthetic rubbers, which like pretty everything else in the modern world, are based on petroleum chemicals. Peel off the tape starting from one of the sides or edges. Keep applying the heat as needed to loosen the tape.

The product is available in fresh mint and mild mint flavours, so you can choose your ideal flavour according to your needs. If you dislike a minty flavour or prefer no taste at all, you can choose the original one. The tube opening is quite small, preventing you from squeezing too much cream at once. This can be especially handy for those denture wearers whose manual dexterity is compromised. But it's worth keeping in mind that this denture fixative does contain a low concentration of zinc, so it’s important to use only the recommended amount of cream. Another option is to use a belt sander cleaner. Cut off a piece that you can hold firmly and rub it firmly in a straight line on the surface of the grip tape. Rub as hard as you need to remove the dirt and grime on the tape. Longboard grip tape can be cleaned with soapy water or glass cleaner, using a soft wire brush and a microfiber cloth to dry.

Also, be careful not to push too hard when you scrub or you may strip the grit from the tape or tear it. Rinse your brush in the bowl whenever the brush becomes dirty. 3.

Don’t be too aggressive with your scrubbing to avoid damaging it. 4 – Pat the water off the board with a towel. If you have scrubbed with a little water and the dirt still isn’t coming out, you won’t benefit your griptape or board by using more water or soap. Longboard griptape is a little stronger and a little more water-resistant than standard skateboard griptape, so it can get a little wetter without creating the same problems. After that, let the grip dry completely, and then go over it with the grip gum to finish it off. If you don’t let the grip dry, it can’t effectively rub off the remaining dirt and will just glide along with the grip.Proper cold is, believe or not, another issue for sole makers. For perspective, winter spec car tyres are designed to works at temperatures of 7˚C and below, retaining their softness thanks to a careful mix of natural and synthetic rubbers, while ‘normal’ summer rubber compounds become rigid and far less grippy. The same basically happens with footwear, but there are special compounds available which are designed to work at lower temperatures. Swedish cold condition specialist Icebug, for example, uses a winter-specific sole unit produced by Michelin. It is, hands down, the best cleaning option for skateboard grip because it won’t put any wear on the tape. To cut a long story short, different lug shapes and configurations work in different situations, for mountaineers and walkers though, it’s mostly about all-round balance. Take a Soft Wired Brush and scrub the grip tape gently from one end to the other. This will clear the dirt hidden deep in the holes. It is recommended to use soft bristles brush, hard bristles will scratch and damage the tape. When cleaning your griptape, the more you can get up with grip gum, the better off your board will be.
