Razor Tail and Delamination:
If the plies of wood have separated, from delamination, or you have razor tail, check out this video:

Fixing A Chipped Skateboard Deck:
Chips usually occur when a skateboard slams into a wall or curb, or lands on the nose or tail from doing a trick. They cracks and chips can also happen if the tail has been worn down making the plies of wood thin. This is known as "razor tail".
The steps shown in this video do not work for all types of chips.
This is especially true where the bottom plies of wood have been chipped off. Wood filler is brittle and not nearly as strong as wood.
Bottom ply chips may be better fixed with just wood glue, or wood glue with some saw dust.
Wood filler is great for chips on the top plies of wood that do not come in contact with the ground when popping the board. If wood filler is applied to the bottom plies of a deck, the wood filler can break off. This is where glue and reshaping the deck may be a better fix. This is seen in the Skateboard Razor Tail and Delamination video link above.
Cost for Repair: About $8
For many people who don't have the money to put toward a new skate deck, this is a great way to prolong the life of your skateboard.
FAQ:
• How long does it take for wood filler to dry?
Roughly 24 hours.
• Will this affect the pop?
It shouldn't because now the plies are stiff and solid as one piece. You should have pretty good pop after this.

I came back 8 years later to this video specifically to make sure I was doing this right. Thanks for many fixed boards.
Over the years I’ve wished I did this a bit better. I’ve also read comments with some better suggestions too. The video is still good. I think for smaller chips, this works. Saw dust with wood glue could work too. Wood filler can be too brittle with large chips. Glad this has worked out for you all these years. Got any suggestions for future videos?

to all germans:
i didnt find Wood filler in my local hardware store so i bought a 500g Box of "Molto Holz Reparatur Spachtel" for about 5€ and it works perfectly well.
***** Danke.
if you dont have sand paper use the old griptape for 3:13
that's true
Sanding you dumbass
Amcentz Drifts Dude we all know that griptape is not like proper sandpaper but you can use it in a pinch dumbass
When the board chips, save the piece that broke off and glue it back on.
Boom.
That's what I always did.

It's too bad this guy never uploads.

+Rat Vision - Skateboard Tech PLS UPLOAD
fuck! you actually alive!
Rat Vision - Skateboard Tech u liar
The way you cut the grip tape... that was beautiful
Awe thanks! I'm blushing
Rat Vision - Skateboard Tech mace a scare board
Legend has it he still has the same board till this day
2:24 thats what she said
lol
Hahaha
Stfu
Good attitude! You learned something that you'll remember for the rest of your life.
If you have a longboard that has cut-outs for the wheels that has plywood that has chipped out completely, it might just be more economical to screw in a new piece of wood and add a plastic guard over it. In all of my custom deck's I dip the tips into colored silicone in order to prevent further chipping, also it looks really cool.
Dude. I got into an argument yesterday with some fools. They never heard of repairing a chipped deck before. I'm so glad I found this vid you made 11 years ago!! 🤣 You helped me blow their minds! Skate or Die bro. 🤟🏼
That works too. There are always multiple ways to do things. This method does not work on big chips for the reasons you mentioned. Out method works for small chips on the top surface.
It's creepy when he is always looking at the camera
ikr
and the way he talks too. it reminds me of one of those 80's or i think 90's old acting style commercial
Musicman 5122 yep
looks like he is wearing makeup too.
This whole conversation is filled with people who think toilet paper will save them from the coronavirus...
We have a video coming out probably next week that is a "pre-quel" to this video. It will show how to fix delamination and razor tail.
True. Sometimes it's not a big deal, but not everyone lives in the USA where decks are cheap. Most places, outside the US, decks start at over $80. A lot of people want to make their decks last as long as possible. A friend of mine who is a pro vert skater was so picky about shapes. When he found one that flipped good he actually busted the nose one day and asked me if I could repair it. He could get free decks anytime, but this deck shape felt good. So, repairs are work for a lot of people.
Thanks to Rat Vision videos and the brilliant guidance and experienced knowledge plus sage-worthy wisdom! I am really impress - I haven't skate since '94 and I am relieved to watch your excellent videos before buying any equipment. Plenty to learn...Cheers..
duuude you're sooo cheesy hahah but good video
Fr cr f t.c
why is i didnt see this tutorial before i bought that new deck!! GOD DANG IT!! :)
You can always do this to your old deck and have a backup deck
I love your enthusiasm, and you are right about glue and saw dust. Unfortunately, most people don't have wood glue sitting around, so they'll need to go buy it. They probably don't have saw dust that has been carefully placed in a jar that is now sitting on a shelf above the toilet. That's where I keep my saw dust preserves. They will need to saw something like a chair leg. So, buying wood glue and making saw dust versus just buying wood filler and a putty knife... wood filler wins. Sorry.
Bought a board the other day that needs a repair, this video was perfect! Very clean tutorial, short to the point, funny!! And very informative! Thanks bro!!
Also there is a little trick, that old time woodworkers use. Instead of using "Wood Filler" you can mix some saw dust, and glue. You will get almost the same result. =)
Yeah it works great too. Skaters aren't wood workers, so they'd have to get a saw and some wood, make saw dust, and go get wood glue. Since they need to get wood glue, it might be a lot easier to just get wood filler. That's why.
Rat Vision - Skateboard Tech dont worry about that fuckface hes just a fuckn idiot. good video shit helped alot.

shut up
Gedas AndBass make me
Raketbaever hugh
Thanks dude! These videos are helping me ALOT! Im completely revamping my longboard and turning it into a bottleneck cruiser, painting it, getting new grip tape and adding under glow! :D
Great! Glad we can help you.
thats awesome dude.
These videos are easily the most informational and helpful I've seen on youtube! Great job man! *subbed*
Just bought an old, totally thrashed Zorlac that I'm going to restore. Your video was really helpful. Thanks and subbed!
I'm the kind of person who would try to re-use the old griptape
If you have a hard time getting the filler out of the tube, you can take some scissors and cut the tip. Works for any similar tubular container yo
All of my skating problems have been solved because of rat vision thank you so much bro keep up the good work !!!!
Grip tape setups are always so satisfying....🤩
can you also use your old grip tape for sand paperO___o
why not just cut the tube nozzle of the wood filler so its wider and easier to squeeze?
but like it does bc ive done it before....
The Potato King LMAO oh my god. dude you just take some scissors and cut the plastic yo. i mean it takes some effort but its not impossible
The Potato King of course it would, with a wider hole there's less resistance so it's relatively easier to squeeze the filler out
@@jay_maybe wow that person must now think that tp will save them from corona lol yes I am here in 2020 but helpful videos are helpful videos, the think is that person deleted his replies lol
Thank you for the awesome comment. We really appreciate it.
thank you and the video is great . keep it up man , you've done the best thing that skateboarding has to offer to its riders.
Well, watched all yuot videos, now you need to upload more.
great vid, but what the fuck is that camera angle.

Vids of this guy are still gold
This is an amazing tutorial! It really helped me out its a 2 in 1. A tutorial for fixing chips in your deck also a tutorial to apply some griptape onto your deck i highly recommend this video.
First 3 seconds: THATS WHAT SHE SAID!
The grip God says to score it more.
Great video, very helpful and simple to understand. Thanks
i have watched this video lots of times and i cant stop watching it:)
I don't want to take my grip take off though it's custom
It's off with the griptape or having a chipped deck
It's off with the griptape or having a chipped deck
No you just have to peel it back with a hair drier and make sure nothing gets on it then re stick it with a hair drier
*Insert outdated joke about Rollerblades*
There! Now the kids will know I'm relevant and edgy!
Wmkzzanaasznnzjjxjdndnnsnsndbs
That was a mighty fine job! Thank you!
This guy makes tutorials entertaining lol I like this dude
Wht if i dont have a blow dryer ?
+jared espinoza Then you might have a very tough time peeling it off.
Leave it out in the sun on a hot day and it will loose the it up. :D
throw some cheetos in your mouth and blow on your grip
+TokenTheBlackMan If you don't have grammar, you're never going to have a future.

How he stares into the camera :o
Pretty sexy huh?
Damn sexy . Haha
We need more videos! This Channel is great!
This is actually super helpful
You don't have to remove the whole piece of grip...
ive had my deck for 2 days and now i have the same chip ;-;
me too...
KubesC37 woah, hey prod
GNasty the day I got my longboard I was going down a hill and needed to get off quickly because of a stupid car . So I hopped off after stopping with my foot and my deck decoded to go under a Fiat and get stuck. Resulted in a chip
Very resourceful and knowledgeable. Thank you!
thanks for making so many helpful videos!
I feel like hes staring into my soul lol
I was.
Rat Vision - Skateboard Tech lol
Trans am county Ratvision ARE YOU STILL REPLYING AFTER LIKE FIVE YEARS!?!!
+Singia Letsplays xXMinecraftXx lol wow I didn't notice how old this video was!
Trans am county ha
I'll have you know I'm 14 and own many cassette tapes
No way. You're so retro.
Rat Vision - Skateboard Tech before i watched this i removed grip tape incorrectly . now the board is covered in glue. any idea on how to fix it?
Devindoesntknowyou rubbing Alchohol or some sort of goe be gone
I learned how to fix a chip and to grip a board!thank you so much!!!
Thanks we are working on it.
19 bucks you can buy a new deck
Nope
www.skatewarehouse.com/Skate_Warehouse_Blank_V-Natural_Deck/descpage-SWN1DK.html yup..
+Rat Vision - Skateboard Tech can my old grip tape work?
Oh man, you fell for the classic sales trick. That's $20, plus tax for some states and shipping. Also, I would say "nope" to that, too. That's going to be the shittiest wood and lamination process they can use. It's going to fall apart faster than the repair job in this video. Also, he did the repair for $10, so still less than half the cost of buying that deck.
***** I got that deck for 23 dollars shipped to my door its hard maple and skates well I bet it hold up alot better than wood filler foh I didnt fall for shit 13 dollars more I got a brand new deck and they threw in grip you keep trying tho
lol im twelve and i know what a cassette tape is
Cool story bro
Skate Or Die Thx ;) haha
um, okay dude....
When I was 12 I was playing my favorite songs off cassette tape recordings , of course this was back when gays was locked up
Very professional video with some quirky comments. Went straight to the point with tips, and dos and don'ts. Quality video, that explains what to do and what to get. The guy has a likeable personality and keeps your attention. Subscribed
Now that is an awesome comment. We appreciate the nice feedback. People like you are what keep us making videos. Thank you.
No, thank you for helping me refurbish a few boards. I didn't have to spend big bucks on a deck.
This video is so SATISFYING!
Um no offense but your trying to hard to be funny😂
he never made any jokes...
too*
Isaiah Slider whick jokes did he make
stop pretending you can skate. please?
Joseph McCann Does it hurt your feelings?
Rat Vision - Skateboard Tech Post one video of you doing a tre flip that doesn't look like shit and ill back off. Otherwise stop pretending you skate. You don't know shit.
Skateboarding is all about the fun. It's only competitive and it only matters if you skate for sport. Lighten up and quit being a dick about it.
Joseph McCann shut up , he knows more than you
Joseph McCann you are fucking stupid. No matter if he can skate or not, his videos are great and helped me to make my Boards/Trucks last about twice as long as i were used to. In addition, you shouldnt care if anyone can skate or not, everything is alright as long you have fun
Nice and clear video, keep it up
Dude, I love your videos.
Just buy a new board
Dude your videos are VERY helpful
I never plan on utilizing this information, great video non the less. :)

You can try this. It should be totally fine. Check out the other video we have for fixing razor tail. It may help as well.

Love your videos bro!
this is a really cool video because this will help me in the futer for my company if people don't kno how to fix it
I used to use my trucks to file the grip tape but it's really nice to have a file. You can get one for pretty cheap at harbor freight
Thanks for this 🙏🏼
thank you Rat Vision - Skateboard Tech it really helps
i started out with a 7.5, it made landing tricks harder so i got an 8.0, it feels big at first but once you get use to it, it makes landing tricks easier
this is nice never knew this trick. I usually just take the chip and wood glue it back together with a clamp on it over night
This guy is a boss thanks a lot
Lengthwise? Where is it at, in the center? How long have you had the deck, and what brand is it?
Yes. See our video on fixing razor tail and delamination
Watch our other video on razor tail and delamination and see if that will work better for your situation. Wood filler is only good for small chips.
thanks for the tip
