i have an 04 LF concave. i have been reading about people having delams ect. do you think i should pull my griptape off, sand my skate down to the wood, paint it, and reseal it myself? i want to stop a possible problem before it starts. also if ou suggest to refinish my skate what kind of epoxy or sealant should i use?

thanks

dont go through the hassel....just examine it after a ride at the nose and tail and look to see if theres splitting between the plys...if there is use some epoxy and seal that.

When you use the epoxy, get some pinch clamps and put them on there over night. That will really make it bind back together. Also, roughen up the split with a knife or something like that before you put the epoxy down.

Next time I have to do this, I will take pics and write an article about it.

Get an integrity and this wont happen.
