GV27 Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 Well, it won't be as hard as fixing a boat. You'll probably want to cut it at the "hinge". Trim away any deformations at the edges. Clean the "hole" and the "patch thoroughly. Then just a very thin layer of epoxy. Hold it down with something heavy. Then fill the gap at the back where you had to trim with P-Tex and finally flatten the base on a base grinder or other means. You'll want to allow a little epoxy to cover what gap there is a little - the melt-in p-tex will adhere better. How old is the board? That's obviously a warrant-able defect if the board is still covered.... Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LavalCarving Posted February 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 Thanks Chris.. i bought this board used but it was like knew...its a 2010. i have already send an email to prior to explain my problem ,and im still waiting for reply..but like you said, i think it will be an easy repair..im not afraid to repair it. im questioning my self about bonding on titanal surface, maybe there's a precaution to take or a specific kind of époxy...

Fleaman Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 see here http://www.bomberonline.com/VBulletin/showthread.php?24155-How-to-repair-Core-shots-on-Metal-boards I should be and easy repair but you need to scuff up the titanal to give it some teeth and remove the oxidation. I hope it goes well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
