wvrocks Posted January 13, 2015 Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 I royally messed up my Coiler AM's base responding to a lift evac last weekend. Talked to Bruce and it might not be worth repairing due to the cost of shipping and repairs. Does anyone have a shop they would trust to fix this mess? East coast would be best to keep shipping cost down. Thanks! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ursle Posted January 13, 2015 Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 (edited) 60$ shipping usps both ways, wrap it thin. Return it to the factory. He might give you the best deal of your life. Edited January 13, 2015 by ursle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corey Posted January 13, 2015 Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 I can't help, but what happened? Did you jib to a stop on the lift tower mounting bolts? Looks nasty... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowrider Posted January 13, 2015 Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 A lot of prep work to get down to the root of the issue. I'd say your looking at a whole new Base for the entire board to return it to being a useful board again. Depends on whether the edge can be repaired without replacing it entirely as well. Ptex repairs are never very permanent since they are always of softer material than the original base material. Looks like in the second photo you've actually torn through the Titinal layer as well. Even if you repair the other damage over time the Titinal may continue to fracture along the same path. Sorry for your loss, a sacrifice above and beyond the call of duty.

lordmetroland Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 Once the wave of nausea passed, anybody else impressed that the edge held in picture 2? That's pretty burly construction! Best of luck on the repair. I wish I could recommend someone, but I do my own repair work on boards not nearly as nice as this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conditions were much thinner than expected. It looked rideable but was actually a weird breakable crust with lots of fluff underneath. And rocks. Lots of rocks.

snowboardfast Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 Would the ski area help pay for this since you were working for them doing the lift evacuation? Did you send pictures to Bruce so that he could diagnose the repairs needed? Maybe the area you are working for knows of someone in your area that can do major repairs? Just trying to come up with ideas to help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forrest Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 Precision Ski in Frisco,Co may be worth asking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvrocks Posted January 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 Unfortunately the area isn't willing to help. I did send Bruce some pics and he offered some good info on rebonding the base and possible problems that could arise with repairs.

Erik J Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 Startingate in VT. They repaired base and sidewall damage that was similar to that on a board of mine. No titanal on mine though, that may change things IDK. This was about 7 years ago. I put a lot of days on that board after the repair it it has held up perfectly. I do not baby my boards when I ride them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowrider Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 Squeeze down the bumps fill it up with ptex and ride on ! Don't waste any real $$ on a repair, experiment with it. You may have to inject some epoxy under the lifted ptex where the edge is sticking up and clamp it down before you fill the voids with ptex. There are a few posts of others who have repaired delams you might pick up some ideas. If it works you will have a nice rock board which will help extend the life of your next new purchase. Good Luck ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvrocks Posted January 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 Thanks Erik. I will contact them. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvrocks Posted January 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 Good suggestions lowrider. I've considered just attempting repairs myself. Not like I can make it any less usable than it is now! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruincounselor Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 Be sure to use a slower cure epoxy - this tends to be more flexible and hold better in use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvrocks Posted January 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 Right, thanks. Off to Tognar for some supplies. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
