Hi folks, does anyone have any experience repairing these kinds of scrapes on a tt rail? I'm unsure whether to leave it and ride (which I expect many will say) or make a repair. It doesn't seem like water is getting into the board yet, but if ought to do something with it as a preventative measure, then I'd like to know.
I was thinking just to apply an epoxy resin coating - using a product called Seacured UV Rez Epoxy, which (it says on the packaging) provides a tough and flexible finish. I'm thinking flexibility is important as the area will no doubt flex while the board is being ridden.
It's really just right on the edge of the rail - all the other stuff on the bottom of the deck is the graphics.

Any advice appreciated - thanks.

Flip your footpads around and use the other edge on heel side?

I seem to remember the edges are a P-tex type material, in a centimeter-thick(ish) bead around the edge. If it's not through to the core, I'd just ride and stop doing what you did. Doesn't look that bad to me.

I had the same idea, but because of the bolt inserts positions in the deck, the deck pads & straps can only be fixed to the deck one way.

I think you're right mate and I don't think it is through to the core - seems like some sort of fibrous type material which I'm guessing is wrapped around the core. I've got some of that P-tex stuff somewhere, I might look to seal it off with that.

Hit it with some 240 grit wet sandpaper and then some 400 and then 800, it will look fine after that, the fibres are just some of the fibreglass and you've just roughed up the edges by scraping something.

I reckon I'll do something like that and just keep an eye on it - will probably know soon enough if it's taking on water.
Thanks man!

Just send it !!!!

Hahaha yeah man - that's right, cheers!

Tis but a scratch. I agree. Smash it with a sanding block! I'd hit it with some 120grit first. Otherwise,grit you might be masturbating it for a while with 240 Grit.
