board splitting repair

i need help fixing my board, the edge got cracked a while back and the Bondo Fiberglass repair worked great until the other day when it cracked the filler and it started coming off in chunks as i rode. I need some help on how to make it so that it wont break again or prolong the life of my board?

P.S. i tried the search, got lazy, and gave up on looking so made a new topic...[/img]

Hey gijoe2104,

Some advice from the Bondo Brothers - never use Bondo, use epoxy...you can buy thickeners to make it the consistancy of peanut butter. You can buy small amounts of WEST System at West Marine - it ain't the cheapest stuff, but it WILL work.

I used a fiberglass repair kit and sanded it

I got some clear epoxy at Wal-Mart for around $2. It has worked so far.
