K just bought a 2nd snowboard and it came with a daKine Stomp pad attached. I was told it had been attached using the normal thermal adhesive pad / glue on the back. Dont like it - the profile is way too high an makes stacking boards in my wheelie bag a nightmare so it has to go!
Now how do i go about removing it? Dont want to damage my topsheet tho... Was thinking a hair dryer and a scraper?!?! or will the heat affect the board material?
arg?!?!?
its a older LibTech (Grocer) if that makes any difference at all |

| The heat will not damage the board, but you'll need to get the glue off afterwards. Base cleaner does the job okay and WD40 can also help. |

| And if WD40 doesnt get it off at least your nuts will be loose |

right in answer to my own question - hair dryier on hot and an ice scraper (of the automotive variety) gets the job done in about 2mins. 95% of the glue came away with the pad as well leaving very little residue on the topsheet. Almost looks like i could reuse the pad as well!
Cheers all  |
