One of my boards (old one luckily) has a crack in the deck from a paddle hit. Its about 5-10 cm's.

I've bought the suncure epoxy (O&E Brand). Any tips before I make huge mess of board?

Thanks,

That stuff should only really be used for a temporary fix I reckon.
You should get it fixed properly if the board has any value to you.
For a decent temporary fix, give the area to be covered with resin a light sand so it has something to key into.
Put some goop on it out of the sun and pull some glad wrap tight over the top to make it smooth.
Then bake it.
Most of that is written on the tube isn't it??

Depends on the damage, if your board is worth 1 to 2K why not go to a local repairer pay the $100 and be happy.
sorry but thats what i would do

Yeah, I might look into a proper repair job.
If do decide to have a crack myself using glad wrap, will the glad wrap come off after the epoxy dries?
