Gorilla Glue works great. You just need some clamps to clamp it over night after you aply the glue. You can get it a Home Depot

gasoline and a match also work good then you can go and buy yourself a integ. Laughing

since your a newb you should proably get used to me responding to every question with the phrase "buy a integ"

ohh and another one fellas, what actually happens when the board delams? do the sheets start coming apart? or does the clear coat come off/
?

it gets full of water and weighs like amillion pounds then you pretty much get pissed before it gets damanaged anymore

True delaming is when the plys start to come apart.

thanks for clarifying GregT, well havent gotten the skate yet (in transit with FedEx) but i went to home depot for other things and picked up a can of Helmsman Spar Urethane...its for outdoor stuff and it says it protects agains H20 so i guess when i get the skate ill just slap a couple coats of this stuff on there and see if it helps...
