Jb Weld It!!!

 

^^^u and jb weld....

 

"sun-cure" works great on my skimboard dings, you apply it and leave it in the sun for 10-30 minutes, hard, smells like hell (that means its strong) just sand it down.

of course only do this to a snowboard that you dont care for much, or practice on another board maybe? should work though.

or just get an estimate haha

 

Did ya not see my warning?!?

It's really gonna depend how bad it is. Repairs are priced by "labor estimate" on a case-by-case basis, similar to what a body shop would tell ya for collision work. Without seeing for myself, I'm guessing you're looking to start at the $40 range. Full snowboard tunes are around 40 bucks, and base repair includes most of the elements of a tune (i.e. belt or stone grind, P-tex, wax). Then, they obviously have to fix the gouge (epoxy, maybe weld or patch).

Bottom line: Ya gotta bring your board in for the tech to look at... as already mentioned.

If you're in SanJo: REI on Saratoga, Mel Cotton's, or Helm (also on Saratoga).

Hope this helps, bruddah. G'luck.

 

Ptex! Followed by a nice waxing, but if its down to the core did any water get into it? If so the dammage is most likely already done.

 

If it happened on a feature at the mountain you were at, you can tell park staff or mountain safety and the mountain shop should fix it for free. I did that at northstar.

 

P-tex won't attach to the core, you can p-tex it and it might hold for a couple days but eventually it will bubble and/or pop out.

You'll need to either have the core-shot epoxied or "base-welded" which is a process the pros have to deal with this sort of damage.

 

What psoper said.. If you wanna go the cheap way, p-tex'n it might be possible, but the better route would be to bring it to a shop to have it basewelded.

 

i've ptex it aready, but it fell out of the gouge. should i just epoxy this **** and just buy a new board for next season?

 

$20 and ill fix it. I used to be a ski tech.

 

bring it to me and ill base weld it for you. i work at a board repair shop. if you wanna come to concord. =] PM me and we can work something out

 

for 20 bucks can you tell me what you will do?

 

Thanks Eckshero! you rock!
