Einleitung
After multiple snowboarding trips, people tend to just store their snowboards without wiping them, causing the water to ruin the wood. Impact with branches, ice, small rocks, and other hard items can result in chips along the edge and minor delamination. This guide shows you how you can fix the chipped edges of your board to make it as good as new.
This guide focuses on sanding your snowboard and using epoxy. If you have never use epoxy, not to worry! It is one of the most commonly used materials (similar properties as glue) to fix chipped snowboards to make then full strength again.
