    Default quick question

    i bought a board from skim central and it was shipped with felt circles attached along the rails on the bottom. i managed to get most of it off but there's still a residue of the glue or whatever that was holding them on. what's the best way to get that off?

    even something like windex will work. or soap.

    or you could just skim on it, and it will come off on it's own.

    yeah flood the base of the board with some lighter fluid, degreaser or rubbing alchohol, then simply drop a struck match onto the area: the flames should help soften the gum/glue, making it easier to rub off! too easy!

    Seriously, I just use gasoline. It should still be cheaper than other products (fracking 500 dollars a gallon nowadays). You can also use it as a wax remover, it works fine for me.

    The only problem is: if your really really hawt (wink) like some of us, you might wanna wear gloves so you don't like the gas on fire, ya know?
