Slight buckle fix

Postby Jim888 » Wed Mar 17, 2021 10:40 am

Hello ,,

Hoping for a bit of advice,,,Am about to sell a board ,but it has a crease on the top more or less in the middle of the board , perpendicular to the stringer,,,
The rails are perfect and the underside also shows no sign of damage,,the stringer looks solid,,

My thinking is that the crease is just the glass , but is slight de lamination along the crease line,,,

I am not selling the board for a lot ,but want to do the right thing and fix what is otherwise a solid board,,

To fix the delamination can I drill tiny holes along the bucckle and the inject epoxy resin to act as a glue to stick the glass back to the foam ?

Thanks any help will be appreciated !

If you don’t fix it properly it lower the value of the board. Sell it as is and let the buyer fix it
So what is worse.... dying or regretting it for the rest of my life? Obviously I chose not regretting it.

The "Right Thing" to do is to leave it "As is" and be totally up front about the condition of the board to the prospective buyer.
