Snowboard bases do not like rocks, but occasionally they do meet. When they do a base repair is required and if the core is exposed then a base weld is needed. We do our Wired-Weld using a Wintersteiger Polyman and a few extra tricks. This is our method. We also show P-tex use, edge sharpening and Wintersteiger base grinding in the video. Love your base!
Hi Dale,
Base grinders by nature take off base material (and edge) with every pass. It should be done as infrequently as possible and most minor scratches being left as is (unrepaired). A base repair like the weld in the video is absolutely required for a board that has a core shot like this one. You can have about 8 such repairs in the life of any board without affecting performance, so....
Hi,
P-tex alone is not used when the core is exposed. It will not create a permanant bond with the surfaces and will not hold over time. In many instances a P-tex only core shot repair will fail when first ridden. That is why all shops will base weld when you have a core shot.
No...I've done a lot of experiments while riding park boards. They only fail if you dont preheat and get the moisture out. I'm no "expert" but I've done some really good work without all the fancy machines other than a belt sander. Just needed to experiment. Core shots ain't easy!!
Amazing job, shout-out to the service tech!!
you resurrected this board from the dead. Nice job
i have core shot on one of my edges. i got a ptex iron coming and some metal grip, will that work? i live in the worst area if repairs are needed. places here dont have a base welding tools and i dont trust them base grinding my bataleon board as they dont get the concept of tbt lol
2 inch base weld and you do all that? Great way to screw the custy over. 80 grit belt progression taking away all that base material for a little ding. Wow! I would lay the weld, sharpen a good metal scraper on file in a vise, scrape it down to near flush then scorthbrite progression area and rest of board for 20 bucks.
Absolutely!!! Good call, let's just base grind an 8inch section of the board, the rest of it be damned. Haha. What a clown this guy is.
I wish i had all of that at work. I spend hours working on bases
Thank You as I have a Polyman gun as well and it was good to see its operation.
Awesome job man!
Hi thank you for sharing this video. I have a question about base repairs and bases in general. Ive noticed that there are grooves or speed channels running along the base of my board. Do these get lost when you run a board through a base grinder? I would imagine this affects the performance of the board? Thanks
Bases are porous...get the right wax for the conditions you are going to ride in. Clean your board well. Melt that wax on and let sit till the first snow of the following seam and scrape off.
Boards have a stone grind etched into it making them channel water through them to go faster with less resistance. If you grind it you lose the stone pattern, but you can ask the shop to put a specific etching for specific conditions (wet snow, hard pact, etc.). But a grind is always good from time to time to get out all of the scuffs!
Late comment but I’ve never run a ski through the edger that direction. Just like a table saw or a router conventional is better than climb in most cases
That was badass!
pretty cool. first time seeing this.
this man earned every penny he got!
Where is this shop??? Looks like they know their shit! Their equipment is dope. Need a place like this in Wisconsin, or where can I buy it.
How about some music credits? Music is rocking!
Yo, ever heard of a metal scraper??? Works a lot better than grinding a 9 inch section of the board that will never be flat again thanks to this haphazard fix. Unless you are a super genius that is just trying to ensure job security, but I doubt it.
How much do you charge to repair the base, when there is a big gouge like the one on the snowboard
it looks like nothing happened i wonder how much that would cost
Too much
The repair? like 15 bucks!
wrong. try more like 50-80$
You just took an entire layer off the bottom of that board trying to get the excess ptex off!
I can tell you've never teched a board before!
Trichome is correct, and it's obvious you haven't "teched," bwahaha a damn thing if you think a grinder is necessary to remove excess base repair material.
not a capita.
Lol think you scratch a new board just to show off!
Or! You could just light a stick of p tex and let it drip then scrape it off....duh
Yeah! Just get the water out before or it won't last!
