Preparation

 

 

                                        Most guitar effects pedals have a foam pad glued to the base of the pedal, This should be removed before fixing the 

                                        spiky grip patch.

                                        Simply peel the foam pad away from the base plate,this should come off in one piece.

                                        Sometimes the glue off the foam pad is still stuck to the base plate, I use a cloth soaked with a small amount of white spirit.

                                       

                                        Wipe over the adhesive with the cloth and this will remove it, allowing  for the white spirit to evaporate, you are now

                                        ready to fix the patch.

                                        Peel the backing tape off the spiky grip patch (be careful not to touch the adhesive) aline the patch to base of the

                                        pedal and fix.

                                        Once in place spread outwardly with pressure on the patch to remove any air that could be trapped between the

                                        patch and the pedal, this will allow the patch to fit smoothly when fixing the pedal on the pedalboard.

                                       

 

                                       DIY Pedalboard Builds

   

                                       In most cases when fixing pedalboard velcro the soft side goes on to the pedalboard and the spiky grip side goes on

                                       to the guitar effects pedals.

                                       When fixing  to the pedalboard I find its a good idea to wipe over with a cloth soaked with white spirit,

                                       this will clear any dust or dirt that may be on the surface.
