Step 1:
Seal the chip: This is particularly important to prevent it from getting bigger or moisture getting into the “inside” of the board. This could lead to further chipping and, above all, irreparable damage to the deck.
Best options:
- Wood glue (Ponal or similar) → apply thinly to the chips
or superglue (only for small areas)
-Spread with your finger or a toothpick
-Leave to dry for 1–2 hours (superglue: minutes)
Step 2:
Make the repaired area “inconspicuous” again. To do this, you should smooth or round off the edges again.
-Sandpaper (120–240 grit)
-Lightly round off the edges, no sharp splinters
-Do not sand too much – just “break” it, do not remove it
If you have lost the broken piece of the deck or the chip is so large that it cannot be repaired as described above, you can still remedy the situation with a little DIY skill:
-Mix wood glue + sawdust (or wood filler)
-Press into the area
-Allow to dry → sand → apply glue to seal
-optional:
-Thin layer of clear varnish or Shoe Goo on nose/tail
-Makes slides slightly slower, but provides good protection
