Splitboard.com Forums

After sitting out 2 full winter with family obligations I finally got the chance to split a snowboard .
So things I learned.
-Use a jig to cut the board, free hand is possible but looks messy
-dont finish the edges with epoxy gets on your skins
-use the metal grip stuff to finish the bottom holes because if you dont you get a bad epoxy/ptex mix on your new skins the first time you tear them off
Never underestimate the AWSOMENESS of using a splitboard to hike instead of snowshoes


The question of the day to all the old heads is..
what do I do about all the crap on my brand new tractor skins????
I am planning to split my board in awhile but in the mean time this board is a little skinnier than the skins ......should i trim them??

Cheers

there is a weather warning in the west kooooots 20cm expected Wooot wooot

My P-tex also didnt bond very well to the epoxy layer I had put in my holes... some worked great, others pulled right out, the epoxy generally stayed put though so it must just be my shotty p-tex skills

anyway I sat down with a pair of tweezers to pull out the little chunks of p-tex, are your chunks the right size to do that?

ya they are big and small and ptex and epoxy i have already started pulling them off.....did you re-glue yours? i think im pulling off glue aswell so im al ittle scared and by scared i mean sad and by sad i mean angry
word
thanks for your response
