In this guide I will be showing the process of replacing the traction pad of a surfboard for any make and model. With some simple tools you can have that old traction pad off and ready for a brand new one. This repair process can be necessary if the traction pad of your surfboard begins to fade, rip, lose its sticky adhesive, or simply is not comfortable for the user.
During this process sharp objects such as razor blades are used, so protective gloves that can prevent any major cuts are required as well as safe handling of these sharp objects. Adhesive remover is also used which can be flammable and toxic. Use caution when applying adhesive remover with a well ventilated work area and a mask to prevent inhalation of any toxic chemicals.
Having cleaning supplies near the work area is recommended throughout this process for any quick cleaning or spills that may occur.
Warning: When following this guide, use a well ventilated work area and a mask to prevent inhalation of any toxic chemicals. Also use puncture proof gloves when handling razor blades to prevent injury.
