Hmm, my griptape is tearing off day by day, I just ripped the last bit off. What can I use to re-glue it back on? Any suggestions appreciated.

You'd probably be better off just peeling off what you can and getting some skateboard griptape from the local skate shop to regrip the skate.

Make sure you clean the area REALLY well before applying the new grip and you should be good to go for a long time.

i deal with this all the time in my shop. the only way to regrip a used skate is sand the top of the skate until is is clear of all the glue and residue from the old grip. jessup and black magic will stay in place on a new skate but not always on a re grip. mob has never failed me i have been using it for the last 3 years and its great just make sure you sand down all exterior edges of the grip tape to create a seal between it and the wood.

and if that doesn't work get ghetto and use a staple gun.

LoL! Sand it first before applying glue or skateboard grip tape is also good and sticky, just make sure the surface is perfectly clean.
