Poster: A snowHead
|
Now I am back and yearning to go back to the slopes, I must console myself by spending some quality time with my board.
What do people do with the dinks on the top sheet edges of their board? You know the ones I mean - the ones caused by idiot skiers in queues gently slicing up the edges of your board.
I have two types of damage - small slices with a little of top sheet sliced away, maybe with small amount still attached to the board. Secondly, I have one large gash that goes through the first sheet and reveals a little of the sheet below (but not the wooden core).
It is the later that I am unsure whether to repair and if so how. Any advice?
Cheers

croskemj, for the slices that go through tot he wood, Araldite is brilliant. You can basically build up filler bit by bit to have a totally flush epair without it looking like an abortion.
As for the other dinks, I jus put a thin layer of Araldite over them o seal them. It won't win you any beauty contess but what the hell!!

Cheers Specialman, got some Araldite today and will try it out hopefully over the weekend.
Do you bother to put some sort of lacquer over the top? If so what do you use?

Try doing your edges. More important than the top

ski kimberley, I believe when you wax a board, you wax the bottom

Thankyou DebbiDoesSnow, . Its all part and parcel of the process - top, base and edges. Something to keep me out of trouble until off next which may be to Solden in a couple of weeks.

Jealous! The season here (Ontario) is drawing to a close. Was out on Saturday night and it was like riding on the world's biggest ice cube. Have fun in Solden
