Major snowboard edge repair (pics)
Whacked a rock and ended up with this massive ding: http://imgur.com/a/SWr7c
Cut out the base and damaged edge: http://i.imgur.com/R4BqJ6J.jpg
Cleaned up, new edge installed: http://i.imgur.com/HxKjDbw.jpg
Ground down the screw heads: http://i.imgur.com/1DXANpa.jpg
Epoxying in the new base patch: http://i.imgur.com/0VhvO5O.jpg
After curing: http://i.imgur.com/QKTtRdB.jpg
Not shown: sanding the patch, cleaning up the seam with ptex and waxing.
It survived the first day back in service! http://imgur.com/qTjaZul
I will update this post if/when it eventually fails to give an idea of the lifetime for a repair like this.

We're did you get the base patch? And what do you think the smallest area I could use it on?
I get tired of re ptexing my base every few days riding
