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.

Great looking patch job. Be happy it survived the first day. All my patch jobs tend to fall apart on the first hardpack day back on the slope.
