    I've had my plus less than two weeks now and already my grip tape is coming up quite a bit. It weird because its not an issue of water because it hasn't seen any water yet and its also not a fender issue because I'm not using one. I know others have had issues with this... Is there any glue you would recommend? I'd like to stay with the same original grip tape for now. I know the original Kickstarter boards had issues with floating grip tape (and they fixed that) but this just feels like the glue they use is like equal to painters tape or something... Strange...

    @MichaelW I had an issue like this and was able to fix it by simply hitting it with a hairdryer on hot and then using something to apply pressure to the area.

    @drew Yep! I think its an issue of the sun making it hot. Leaving it in the hot car or riding in hot weather.

    Spray some 3m Super90 on it'll hold back together.

    As new as it is, you should have peeling issues, but the Super90 should take care of it.
