Fixing A Chipped Skateboard Deck:
Chips usually occur when a skateboard slams into a wall or curb, or lands on the nose or tail from doing a trick. They cracks and chips can also happen if the tail has been worn down making the plies of wood thin. This is known as "razor tail".
The steps shown in this video do not work for all types of chips.
This is especially true where the bottom plies of wood have been chipped off. Wood filler is brittle and not nearly as strong as wood.
Bottom ply chips may be better fixed with just wood glue, or wood glue with some saw dust.
Wood filler is great for chips on the top plies of wood that do not come in contact with the ground when popping the board. If wood filler is applied to the bottom plies of a deck, the wood filler can break off. This is where glue and reshaping the deck may be a better fix. This is seen in the Skateboard Razor Tail and Delamination video link above.
Cost for Repair: About $8
For many people who don't have the money to put toward a new skate deck, this is a great way to prolong the life of your skateboard.
FAQ:
• How long does it take for wood filler to dry?
Roughly 24 hours.
• Will this affect the pop?
It shouldn't because now the plies are stiff and solid as one piece. You should have pretty good pop after this.

I came back 8 years later to this video specifically to make sure I was doing this right. Thanks for many fixed boards.
-
to all germans: i didnt find Wood filler in my local hardware store so i bought a 500g Box of "Molto Holz Reparatur Spachtel" for about 5€ and it works perfectly well.

if you dont have sand paper use the old griptape for 3:13

It's too bad this guy never uploads.
-
When the board chips, save the piece that broke off and glue it back on. Boom. That's what I always did.
-
Legend has it he still has the same board till this day
-
The way you cut the grip tape... that was beautiful
-
That works too. There are always multiple ways to do things. This method does not work on big chips for the reasons you mentioned. Out method works for small chips on the top surface.

We have a video coming out probably next week that is a "pre-quel" to this video. It will show how to fix delamination and razor tail.

Good attitude! You learned something that you'll remember for the rest of your life.

True. Sometimes it's not a big deal, but not everyone lives in the USA where decks are cheap. Most places, outside the US, decks start at over $80. A lot of people want to make their decks last as long as possible. A friend of mine who is a pro vert skater was so picky about shapes. When he found one that flipped good he actually busted the nose one day and asked me if I could repair it. He could get free decks anytime, but this deck shape felt good. So, repairs are work for a lot of people.

2:24 thats what she said

If you have a longboard that has cut-outs for the wheels that has plywood that has chipped out completely, it might just be more economical to screw in a new piece of wood and add a plastic guard over it. In all of my custom deck's I dip the tips into colored silicone in order to prevent further chipping, also it looks really cool.

It's creepy when he is always looking at the camera

Thanks to Rat Vision videos and the brilliant guidance and experienced knowledge plus sage-worthy wisdom! I am really impress - I haven't skate since '94 and I am relieved to watch your excellent videos before buying any equipment. Plenty to learn...Cheers..
-
Thank you for the awesome comment. We really appreciate it.
-
duuude you're sooo cheesy hahah but good video
-
Also there is a little trick, that old time woodworkers use. Instead of using "Wood Filler" you can mix some saw dust, and glue. You will get almost the same result. =)

I love your enthusiasm, and you are right about glue and saw dust. Unfortunately, most people don't have wood glue sitting around, so they'll need to go buy it. They probably don't have saw dust that has been carefully placed in a jar that is now sitting on a shelf above the toilet. That's where I keep my saw dust preserves. They will need to saw something like a chair leg. So, buying wood glue and making saw dust versus just buying wood filler and a putty knife... wood filler wins. Sorry.

Yes. See our video on fixing razor tail and delamination
