Quick Tip: Handy Uses for Skateboard Grip Tape
Nov 04, 2008
To prevent work from slipping, I used to glue sandpaper to the face of my miter gauge and to other jigs and fixtures. Now I use skateboard grip tape instead. It is tough, long lasting, and comes with a self-adhesive backing. You can find this abrasive tape at any skateboard shop or online at www.tactics.com. Jessup and Shorty’s Black Magic (under $5 for a 33-in. roll) are two good brands.
