Steps:

1. Apply the snowboard onto a clean and stable surface, making sure it won't move a lot.
2. Clean the board of any dust and dirt.

3. Apply painter's tape around the damaged edge, leaving the damaged edge exposed.
4. This will protect the board while sanding the damaged edge.
5. Always use painter's tape. Regular tape can be damaging to the boards outer coat.

6. Sand out the chipped area so that the indent is smooth.
7. There should be no more rough edges where the chipped area is.
8. After your done sanding, make sure to clean away any leftover dust with warm water and a clean cloth.

9. Squeeze out a little epoxy into the chipped area.
10. Use a toothpick to guide the epoxy into the crevasses.
11. The epoxy can be very hard to work with, be slow with it.

12. Clamp the chipped area to make sure it stays tight and compressed.
13. Let it stay clamped for 1-2 hours to allow the epoxy to harden.

14. After the epoxy is hard, sand the excess epoxy until it's flush with the board.
15. Carefully and slowly remove the tape.
16. Allow the epoxy to cure for at least 24 hours before use.
17. A full cure is typically achieved between 24 hours and 7 days. Refer to your epoxy container for cure times.
