Seems like it would be way too "gloppy" for grip. Stencils n Krylon seem like the way to go.
But if you do... Let us know how it turns out. |

| I have heard of people screen printing grip. I have had some success with it but also a lot of failures. As it's very inconsistent as far as how many passes each sheet needs. sometimes one is enough others you need like 6. I have just made a stencil and spraying it for now. Contacted my ink supplier and he suggested the coarsest screen with the softest squeegee |

| I have tried it a few times. it definitly looked like a DIY job and not like MOB or one of those other companies. They didn't look bad, but came out far from professional. |

I didn't know you could do that.... awesome, good luck - when you come up with a process, patent that shit!
If I were to take a stab at it, I would say the less amount of ink you use, the better. Swap the squeegee for a sponge dampened with ink and do a light pass to avoid "runnage" <- if that's not a word, it should be. Experiment and see how it turns out. |

| Thanks for the tips guys. I have tried it in the past just have had inconsistent results. I will try the sponge method and get back to you. Right now I am just stenciling it and using spray paint. But would like to get a nice clean look similar to shirts and boards |
