What should i use to fill a gouge in the bottom of my snowboard???

Question

I hit a rock and got a eighth to a quarter inch gouge in my snowboard how should i fill it in?????

Answer 1

If it is on the edge, take it to a shop and have them fix it properly... if it's in the middle of your board and shallow, you shouldn't really notice it. Someone mentioned P-tex.. that'll work fine.

I have about a 2-inch gouge in mine on the edge and I took my board to some fly by night place and he just filled it in with wax and now I can always feel my board pull that way. I'm too lazy to fix it... so if you don't want this problem... make sure you get it done right.

Answer 2

you can get some stuff at ur local shop that you melt into the gouge, then scrape off the excess.

Answer 3

If it's a shallow gouge, you can fill it in with a P-Tex gun or ad P-Tex candle.

If it is a deep gouge, and you can see either metal, fiberglass, or wood, that's a core shot. You'll need a copolymer filler to cover that, and then cover that layer with P-Tex.

Tognar has great tutorials as well as all the supplies you'd need to do a proper repair. http://www.tognar.com/base_repair_tools_...

If you're feeling less than confident though, I'd suggest you take it to the shop and have it professionally done though. Good luck.

Answer 4

simple. just get a P-Tex was stick, hold it above the lighter, then drip it into your gouge and it will fill it up. then just get your wax scrapper and smooth it out.
