Washed the tank 3 times with cleaner and 3 times with 90% alcohol. Took my sweet time measuring and applying the grip, so I didn't have to move it at all. Then, I took a roller and put a ton of pressure on it to force the bubbles out and to make sure it was completely set. Then, I heated it up with a hair dryer and made sure that all of the edges were good and sealed. Lastly, I waited until this morning to ride the bike, almost 40 hours (instructions call for 24). If there are any fuck ups, it won't be because of me!  |
Wow damn, I just wiped my tank off with a towel(dusted it basically) and pressed them on. I let them sit over night at the most, and rode the next day...
They did last me 6 trackdays before finally coming apart from the tank. Oh well screw it, I can put that $30 for the next set to something else.
