   Take the red grip tape, which typically has an adhesive backing. Peel off a portion of the backing to expose the adhesive. Carefully lay the grip tape onto the top surface of the longboard, aligning it as desired. Smooth it down, working from the center outwards to avoid air bubbles. Once the grip tape is in place, use a screwdriver to firmly press and score along the entire outside edge of the longboard. This creates a clean, defined line on the grip tape. Then, use a utility knife to carefully cut along the scored line, trimming away the excess grip tape. You can go back and trim any imperfections as needed for a clean finish.
