  Step 1

  #1 first i seperated the 'plys' of the 'deck' at the damage spot and kept them open for pouring glue in by pushing nails in as far as i could WITHOUT causing more damage.

• 

  Step 2

  #2 here i've reached the point where i'm ready to pour-in glue

• 

  Step 3

  #3 when adding glue i try to get it into the depths of the damage zones as deep as possible , mindfull of the fact that i can add more but not adding so much that it makes a mess when squeezed for drying.

• 

  Step 4

  #4 during adding glue i switch between adding glue , & squeezing/moving it around to all points possible ... one tool i used for this was a thin safety-pin , to pke the glue in deeper.

• 

  Step 5

  #5 after spreading glue where needed (in-between ALL deck-plys possible)i pull out the nails used to keep open spaces for glue and ...

• 

  Step 6

  #6 ...decide if it needs more or if it's ready to be clamped and left to dry.

• 

  Step 7

  #7 here's what i did , give it a good squeeze and let the glue spread .

• 

  Step 8

  #8 then i put things over the 'chips' that i want to squeeze with the clamp to ensure more even pressure from the one clamp .

• 

  Step 9

  #9 also i was sure to lean the board in a direction to prevent out-leaking glue from running to where i don't want it.

• 

  Step 10

  #10 i let one side dry for a while before standing it on-end and fixing the other end , to avoid wet glue running.

• 

  Step 11

  #11 ,hours later i felt it was surely dry so i took-off the clamps...

• 

  Step 12

  #12 ...then i used some sandpaper on a block to smooth-away some dried-glue lumps & bumps .

• 

  Step 13

  #13 VOLA , it's ready for the next day of skateboarding.
