One last thing. If you don't have any actone or you run out, rubbing alcohol works almost as good to remove epoxy as actone. That's all I use, and it's a lot cheaper.

hmmm, i wouldnt dremel it, just prepare the area you are filling/glassing my sanding it. Epoxy sticks better to rougher surfaces. You could probably glass around the rail if you feel its neccesary, but fiber-filled resing would work fine. Just remember to sand the area and a little bit of the surround area for the best adhesion.

that's similar to the split that accompanied the nose hole on my friend's board that I fixed. What I did on that one was took a knife and dug out any sand, then filled with resin and used a clamp. See the clamping done in J-gordon's "Repairing a wood board" thread in the FAQ section. It'd be pretty much the same thing. You could even use one of the 5-min epoxy tubes for a job like that.

If you can clean out the crack and get it to lay down flat by just pushing on it lightly, you may not need a C -clamp. A C-clamp sometimes can be a over kill, just fill the crack with a small amount of epoxy (use a knife or razor blade to work in the epoxy, and use masking tape to hold it down. Only if needed use a C-clamp.

RexSkimmer · 02-25-2009, 02:39 PM

for stuff like that i usually just fill it with epoxy

Ryan The Temp · 02-25-2009, 02:45 PM

If you show a pix of your damaged board, it might be best not to show the logo or tell the name brand of the board.
