Fingerboarding is a popular addition to skateboarding culture.
The culture of fingerboards, especially Tech Decks, is immensely popular with a wide range of children. They are affordable toys that come with many interesting accessories and are easy to transport. Many kids enjoy trading and exchanging Tech Decks to build a special collection, and the size of fingerboards makes them simple to customize. Basic art supplies can be used to add color and style to a Tech Deck, and plenty of internet resources and stores can help.
Instructions
color a tech deck
1. Remove the wheels and trucks from the smooth side of the board to create a clean surface to decorate without getting materials on the hardware. Tools to remove the hardware usually come with a fingerboard kit or can be purchased separately at a low price.
2. Use permanent markers to spruce up a Tech Deck with a pre-existing design. Color in letters or empty spaces. Let the ink dry before using the fingerboard to ensure the color does not smudge.
3. Create a custom design using a sheet of sticker paper. Measure the fingerboard before creating a design and applying it to the board. Cut the sticker paper the shape of the board. Apply the sticker as smoothly as possible. Cover it with a layer of clear packing tape to make sure it does not wear off over time.
4. Add color to a Tech Deck using stickers or decals. Many kits come with stickers included, or stickers can be found at a local craft store.
5. Apply color grip tape in patterns or as a whole strip. Grip tape already placed on the board can be easily removed by peeling it off or soaking the board in water. Cut out a fingerboard-sized strip from normal skateboard grip tape or purchase tape made specifically for Tech Decks.
