STICKIN' AROUND

Now its game time!!! We were about to stick the oversized sticker onto the board. There were no pictures of this production because it was 100% concentration. Justin and I propped the skateboard onto a chair, just to make it easier for us to see what was going on + to lay it flat, so it wouldnt move back and forth.

We peeled off the first 4 inches (or so) of the sticker, and stuck it to the board. Justin matted it down, as I held the rest of the paper up/straight so it wouldnt bubble or stick in a silly, out of line position.

Little by little, I would peel the sticker off, and Justin would stick it onto the board and smooth it out. This took about 5 minutes to get it on, and looking fly. I ended up not having any bubbles, which was great since it was one of my main concerns.





Yeah I know, I dont have the cleanest room, but schucks guys its been a busy week. Howeveer, this was the board laying down on the chair, with the sticker now stuck onto it. You can see the sticker was a bit longer, so it needed some trimmin down.

Heres a good shot, you can see exactly where the board is, and where it begins to curve into the head/nose. Once it was all done, all along the edges we ran a screwdriver on the sides, just to make sure it would trim off nicely and smooth. It defined the cruves more which was great (being able to see exactly where to nik the edges off). Yay!

What a relief!

Now, the trimming part had me kinda nervous as well. I hadnt trimmed a sticker before so I didnt know how it was going to cut. I was hoping for the best but at this point I really didnt have a choice. I looked for the sharpest knife in the house (the eksatco (sp?) knives, that is...). Theyhave those blades that you can snap off and then they are like brand new again! So that was good. I got Justin to snap off the edges actually, just cause I didnt want to stab my eyeballs out and away it went!

I did some practice runs on the shit that was coming off for sure...and it actually cut really nicely which was great! But it was time to put everything together and get' er done.

Going along the edges of the board with the knive was pretty smooth....stresssssful. But hey, cuts like butter :)
