Remove the Chucks and Wheels
These cheap brand fingerboards are nice because the chucks come off very easily.
Remove the chucks from your board and if you'd like you can also remove the sticker.
TechDeck brand board may work, but you'll need to remove the sandpaper tops or use hot glue to attach the velcro.

Sand the Bottom of the Board

Use a rough grit sandpaper and then a lighter grit (or SOS pad) to create a smooth finish on the bottom of the board.

Apply Velcro Strips
You'll want to be sure to apply the stiff side of the velcro. You can test this because it'll stick to the gloves.
During this time, (and before waxing the bottom of the board) you can customize your board with a sharpie marker. Feel free to customize both the top and the bottom of the board!
