Hi Guys,
Permasnow has wrecked my board. I'm not happy - over a few runs it has taken a lot of p-tex out from the base next to the edges of my beloved evil twin.
Has anyone had any experience with repairing this? Can it be repaired?
Is it a shop job?
What a cr*p dry slope surface!I'm sticking to domes and dendex from now on..... |

same happened to me and my mates... 2 refused to go back on, understandable, fortunatly for me i was on my cheap and cheerful board. Bit pants really as its a good slope... and it was raining so thought it wouldn't have been so bad.
and MK is miles away... well 101 door to door. |

I've repaired a couple of boards damaged by the dreaded permasnow. The cheapest and quickest way I've found is to mix up some araldite resin, stuff it in the gap, wait for it to go off and then sand down the excess (or file it down, depending on the excess).
The only obvious draw back is you do cause a bit of base damage whilst getting rid of the excess. But once its in there it works a treat.
It's an unfortunate truth that permasnow has a habit of wrecking boards - if you are going to ride it, keep a spare board that you don't mind wrecking.
I'm repairing a board at the moment that has had the base burnt away only an entire edge - I've filled it, but haven't got round to finishing it off. It's all a bit gutting really, as the one I'm repairing now was brand new and was only on the slope an hour (but it was dry, hot and sunny that day). I prefer dendix or snowflex myself - but there are a few on here who like the stuff, so it's horses for courses I suppose. |

| Yeah unfortunatly it does seem to be a problem with perma. But to be honest the evil twin does not seem to have that great a build quality. We ride dendix all the time and have never had a problem with our bases, that is until my other half got an evil twin, it hasn't lasted at all, my board which is 18 months older is in a much better condition and we ride the same places at the same time. Plus after just one month, the wood core could be seen towards the nose end of the board. We took it to someone who services bataleons reguarly and he said he had seen the same problem on a number of boards. My other half is now in a pickle, because he loves the way it rides, but doesn't know whether to spend his hard earned cash on a board that doesn't seem to last that long. |

Keep siliconeing your board every run, i ride that sh1t twice a week and have done on the same board since june...
Take an angle grinder to your edges and make them flush with the base... |

Does the evil twin have an extruded base?
extruded bases really dont like perma snow...too soft. |

As far as I know (And trust me, I don't know much) - extruded bases are cheaper and more easily damaged but are easier to repair, whereas sintered take wax better, are faster and are tougher, but are more difficult to repair.
I also read something that someone is making a "sintruded" base, or am I making that up? |
