This was a fun project! Tips and tricks on transferring images onto wood, in this case my longboard. Images printed using a laser printer onto label backing sheets. Tips also on grip tape removal and application, rescuing seized and rusty bolts and using Procreate app for your design stage.
You will need;
- Drawing / design printed with laser printer onto waxy side of label backing paper
- Acrylic gel medium
- Plasticoat spray varnish
- Exterior varnish (clear is better)
- Hair drier / heat gun
- New grip tape
