-1x Lakubo
-1x Hyper Jell
-2x Signos
-1x Signo Knock Type 0.7
If you happen to have that white signo that I have in my picture, then you can use that grip instead of the Signo Knock Type 0.7 grip, but you'll need to add a couple strips of anyball to the front, back, or both since the signo broad grip is not as long as the Signo Knock Type 0.7 grip.
Step 1
-reverse inktube of the lakubo
-take off the hyper jell cap and clip it
-remove the hyper jell grip
-remove both signo tips from pens
-remove Signo Knock Type 0.7 grip and cut a design into it if you wish
(yeah, that's a lot of parts to step 1...but if I had made a seperate pic for each of those steps, i'd waste so much time)
Step 2
-take signo tip and place it on the lakubo
-add tape to secure it
Step 3
-use a little bit of clear tape and stick the insert that you wish to use onto the lakubo as shown in the above picture
this is just what i prefer to do, you can do it differently if you want--but the result'll be the same so it doesn't really matter
-then take a bigger piece of clear tape and place it on the end of the insert
Make sure that there is a little bit of tape hanging off of both sides of the insert so that the tape can actually stick onto the lakubo grip.-then just wrap the insert around using the tape so that the insert is nice and tight around the lakubo grip
it's okay for some of the dimples of the lakubo grip and some of the flat part of the signo tip to still be showing because the signo knocktype grip will cover this up in the end (if you use the signo broad grip though, you will need anyball grips or something to cover those areas)
It should end up looking something like this:
Step 4
-SLOWLY slide the cut up signo knock type 0.7 grip over the insert
Be very careful to make sure the insert does not move too much--even though it's taped down, the grip WILL shift the grip if you are not careful and help hold the insert in placeStep 5
-Put the other signo tip into the back of the hyper jell cap, and then put the hyper jell grip over the little piece of the lakubo backplug
I would leave ~0.3 cm of empty space between the hyper jell grip and where the backcap starts to widen-Then put the backcap over the grip, and push until the backcap reaches the point where the lakubo backplug widens
Optional
-You may also put an insert over the hyperjell grip at this point and put that into the cap as well
(you can tape the insert down onto the hyperjell grip like how the insert was taped down to the grip on the front, but this is not necessary--I personally don't bother with this)
-The insert that I used was a piece of white paper with a design cut out of the paper (you'll see in the following pic).
Sidenote to xxdefinitionxx You don't usually cut the hyperjell grip and then put an insert under it. At least not usually... If anything though (I haven't tried this yet), try putting an insert around a random grip, like a rsvp grip or something, and then putting that inside the hyperjell grip, and then doing it that way. You may need to cut the rsvp grip a bit to fit inside the hyperjell grip, but I don't know for sure, I've never tried.
And that's it. You're done.
Finished Product"I'm sorry if I had end up making this tutorial too long, but since it was an issue that the first was too "vague", I made sure that this tutorial was in depth enough to satisfy you all. But yes...this tutorial that I just made is definitely way too long for such a simple mod, but eh, I hope some of you find it necessary and useful. Well, good luck making this and have fun spinning." - JC
