Einleitung

Skateboards can suffer damage such as scratches the more they are used and in certain circumstances, can sustain damage in the form of chipping.  Chipping creates disproportions in the board that can be inconvenient to the owner. This guide can be used for any type of wooden board such as skateboards or long boards.

    • Evenly sand the excess putty using the sanding sponge to fit the shape of the board.

    • Make sure to sand both sides of the board so that putty is only filling the affected area.

    • The sanding should roughly take 5 to 10 minutes depending on how much excess putty there is.

    • To clean the remaining sanding dust off the board, dampen the rag with soap and water.

    • Make sure to clean both the top and bottom.

    • Make sure to keep liquid away from contact with eyes and wear gloves if cleaner being used is not soap and can cause potential harm to oneself.

Abschluss

Once all the steps are done, you are ready to use your newly repaired board.
