Bubble Eliminator 9000

Ordered a skateboard and grip tape online and needed a way to apply it and smooth out bubbles. I noticed a tool like this being used at a skate shop when I got my last deck and figured I could design and create one.

This worked well for me, if you notice any bubbles in your grip tape after application, poke a hole in the center with a razor blade and you should be able to roll it out.

Hope this helps you out, I'v attached the fusion 360 file if you need to edit anything or want to learn how I created this tool.

You will need 5/16 hardware and 608 skate bearings. They don't need to be great quality bearings, I recommend a shouldered bold for the axle but isn't required, you will want to trim the end of the bolt used as the axle as well, but again, it's not required.

Good luck.
