 Poster: A snowHead
|
Ey up all,
Got a few chunks out of my board along the edges and on the top sheet.
I know that edging the board gets rid of the roughness on the metal edge, but on cuts where it's through the laminated top and into the core, what's the best course of action? Another board has gone over the top of it and just cut into it.
Because it's not on the actual base (the cut is on the side) I was thinking about applying epoxy resin (something like Araldite) to seal the cut to prevent moisture entering, before smoothing it off with a scalpel. Is this worth doing?
It's only a cheap board and it'll only be getting used at Mk few times each month so I'm not bothered about the aesthetics, just that it doesn't get moisture inside.

Specialman, speak to spiderjon, I don't understand where you mean, can you take a picture?

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Yeah, will do a piccy tinite.
The cut is on the end of back end of the board and it's like someone has taken a knide to the plastic on the top and cut into it, exposing the core.

Was going to fill it with epoxy reson (Araldite) to make sure no moisture can get in.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Not sure it'll actually be through to the core but wop some araldite on it & I'm sure it will be fine. I'm sure our resident tuning expert will have stern words to say about this technique though.

I wouldn't even bother to fix that to be honest, like spyderpig said it's a battle scar

Specialman, drop of flexi-Araldite and if you're really worried some gentle direct pressure with a cramp to press it together while it cures. Use kitchen film to stop the clamp sticking to the glue . . . but that's just a scratch.

As others have said I wouldn't be bothered, I think my old board has a few like that. It's the ones on the other side you have to watchout for.
That said if that happens to my new board it will be fixed by quickly administering a slap to the careless twunt who ran over it in the first place.

My other board is much more battle scarred than that, but just wanted to check.
I sue a lot of araldite for fishing rod repairs and it seems to do the job, especially on the waterprofing side of things. Will just fill that tonite just to be on the safe side, ready for Tignes.

FAQ
. I concurr as that's not real damage just a minor battle scar. Theoretically Araldite 2011 or the slightly faster drying 2012 is best as it's both waterproof & flexible but it's a bit pricey so as it's your old board just find an adhesive that's waterproof & you should be good to go.
