Snowboard Scratch Repair

This guide will help you fix a large scratch on the underside of your snowboard, restoring its smoothness and performance. No previous experience with snowboard maintenance is required.

• 1soft cloth
• 1mild cleaner
• 1P-Tex candle
• 1metal scraper
• 1fine-grit sandpaper

• 1. Clean the Affected Area

  Begin by thoroughly cleaning the scratch and the surrounding area on your snowboard using a soft cloth and a mild cleaner. Ensure the surface is dry before proceeding to the next step. Remove any particles that could interfere with the repair process.

• 2. Apply The P-Tex Candle

  Light the P-Tex candle and allow it to melt, dripping the molten plastic into the scratch. Move steadily to fill the scratch completely. Be cautious with the flame and hot P-Tex.

• 3. Let The P-Tex Cure

  Allow the P-Tex to set and cool for at least 30 minutes. The P-Tex should harden to form a solid bond with the snowboard base.

• 4. Scrape The Excess P-Tex

  Using a metal scraper, gently remove excess P-Tex from the repaired area until it is level with the base of the snowboard. Be careful not to gouge the surrounding area.

• 5. Buff the Repaired Surface

  Finish the repair by buffing the area with a fine-grit sandpaper. This will smooth out the repaired surface and prepare it for use.
