How to Replace Your Silicone Mat on Your Scooter Deck
Replacing the silicone mat on your scooter deck is a simple way to keep your ride looking fresh and maintain proper grip. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you do it effectively:
-
Prepare the Mat and Deck
Choose a silicone mat that fits your scooter deck. Clean the deck surface to ensure it’s free of dust, dirt, and grease, which can prevent proper adhesion. -
Apply Glue
Apply a strong adhesive to either the mat or the deck. You can use any glue that you trust to hold securely. Our technicians often use Krazy Glue for reliable results. There’s no specific glue pattern required—just ensure the glue is evenly applied. -
Place the Mat
Carefully position the silicone mat onto the deck, making sure it’s aligned correctly. Press down gently to ensure good contact with the glue. -
Secure and Let Dry
Place a heavy object on top of the mat to keep it in place while the glue dries. Ideally, the weight should be spread evenly across the mat to prevent uneven adhesion or bubbles. -
Allow Adequate Drying Time
Give the glue enough time to set completely before using your scooter. This ensures a secure and long-lasting bond.
With these simple steps, your silicone mat will be securely attached, providing a safe and comfortable ride every time.
