Hey,

Is there anyway to fix the tip of my blade? Its starting to chip away from boardwork even though Ive always taped the entire blade. Suggestions?

edit-sorry don't know how to attach a pic

Although I have never tried it, a 2 part epoxy might work. You can buy a small bottle for about $5, just make sure you mix it well before applying.

Epoxy expands. If you don't secure the blade completely, it's just going to ruin it anyway. Time for a new stick.

ive had luck with epoxy on some small nicks and chips, but that seems like its some major damage. ive had part of a reebok 6k chip up pretty bad, fixed it with the two part, and some clamps, and then had to sand it down to get it rounded like it was before. it was a decent amount of work, but held up pretty good until i upgraded. My feeling is that repairing the damage on this stick will create quite the ridge on the outer edge there.

I would like to see a pic of the face of the blade but It looks like a lot of damage. When I see smalls chips I use water thin superglue to fill the void. It doesn't expand and it seeps into the tiny parts of the cracks as well.

In the future try wrapping the tip w/ electrical or sock tape.
