you can glaze it with liquid fiberglass to protect the paint

Yeah, here's a trick take the skateboard, and go crazy on it with an Axe.\n\nThen, throw a blanket over it and say: siska boom dada ratta dum cluck mofo\n\nIt should be back to normal after that.  It's a good trick

Cut out a stencil on a thin peice of cardboard and place it somewhere on your snowboard. Grab dad’s spray paint from the garage and spray away. Good luck!

Take the particle board off! That is a really hard thing to smooth out. The best thing to use is 3/4 ince Marine grade plywood. Put it in place, prime it, sand it, prime it again, then put polyurethane on it and it should be pretty smooth. If it's still not smooth, put bowling wax on it. That should give you a good rail.

This works! \n\nGet some Grout from home depot and apply to bottom of shoes.  You'll get better traction and feel when practicing... eventually, you'll get good enough to where you don't need the grout. \n\nAnd don't worry, the grout doesn't harden for at least 2 hours so If you wipe it off by then, it won't stain the board.

your best way to go since the paint is already dry is to use Acetone. Make sure to remove the barell from the marker and use in a very well ventilated area. also as with Gasoline, paint thinner, mineral spirits and also acetone they are ALL EXTREMELY FLAMABLE, and you should use caution when working with any of them. Make sure you clean the barell afterwords to remove any residual chemical on it. ANY paint removing chemical will damage the inside of your marker, O rings will disolve as will you seels.\n\nAlso if you really want the barrel to look great you can send the whole thing, marker and barrel to get anodized in whatever color you want. usually costs around 80-100 dollars.

i would ask at the ski shop or where you bought your snowboard if stenciling will hurt it, but i wouldn't think it would. you might have to polyurethane over it when you're done.

lol well when I'm preparing for a serous grind I remove the two middle wheels before my grind.\nThe hardest grind I've ever seen is at east ocean blvd and 1st place in long beach California. its the middle rail that goes down maaaany stairs.\nmost coastal city's have something similar I'm sure but that is the harshest grind I can think of.\nGO BIG OR GO HOME!!!\nDon't try a monumental stunt like that unless you can do it or you got gear.  Messing up something like that could make you famous.\n\noh if you ment type of grind front side Jesus.

skate board or surf board??? if surf board... its all in the horizontal lights.  with high powered lights coming in from the sides, you can see every ridge, scrape or rough area.  Then you can sand it out to be perfect before you put the fiberglass on. It is a huge commitment.  you are better off buying one because all the materials that you will need will be very expensive, unless you are planning on making a bunch and breaking into the market of surf boards.  \n\nhope that helps

This site has information on shaping, cutting, gluing, sanding, and painting polystyrene: \nhttp://www.societyofrobots.com/materials_styrofoam.shtml\nSince polystyrene is used for surf board blanks you can always consult the surfers who build boards:\nhttp://www.surfersteve.com/shaping.htm

just make it out of clay or soap. You can carve it out of soap with a knife.

You can use surfboard wax, available at most sporting goods stores...or on Ebay if you are in the middle of nowhere.
