hammer49, put some polyesther resin, or two part clear epoxy in the crack and clamp it shut with lots of clamps leav eit for a good 12 to 24 hours, then sand any lumpies off and reseal with a spray can of clear polyurethane

PIRATE, LOL, Good idea.
kento911, Yeah that'll work too.
Better yet seal it with a thin coat of resin.
Bullet proof.

This is a quote from Schmaltz from an earlier thread...

ive been working on a skate for a little while that my friend gave me. its condition is not bad but on the concave rails it had some chunks missing. i was just trying to get the shape back to normal not really as worried about strength because they were just minor chips. i just filled the chunks in with wood puddy and then sanded it into the shape of the rails. seems like it is going to work pretty well.

forgot to mention i am going to Paint and coat it with polyeurethane afterward so it doesnt matter what it looks like....

senorbueno, bondo needs to mixed the right ratio, and I wouldnt reccomend noobs a bondo go heavy on the catalyst, plus if you dont get a rasp and knock of the surface gum when it gets lik echeesetextured, it'll load up your sand papae rand be miserable to shape, plus bondo isnt structural, not is it water proof, bondo is really onlyt good for filling in and reshaping when you got like a missing chunk of board, like what Jimmy T, described, and even then its gotta be selaed and it'll "pop off" sometimes
