okay ive got a 43in lf wide, the dam thing is delaminating all over. so i have stripped all the paint off. i drilled small holes where there are cracks, filled them with epoxy and clamped them. for the gouges everywhere i filled them with wood putty. then im going to paint it and seal it with 100% waterproof thompsons water seal. does this sound like it will work?

hyfliteskate, Consider it a temporary fix. Usually once a deck has started to delam it will just continue to get worse from the stress, repaired or not.

Out of all the LF decks I've seen none of them look like they have delamed from water damage, its just cheap wood and cheap glue.

I'd start saving for a new skate.
