It was around £100 I think, but it was a while ago - 2002?! Klinik are owned by The Snowboard Asylum now I think, so you could ask them if they do courses, or check out the natives website as beest suggested.
The one day course was interesting, as well as learning about repairs they taught us about board construction and characteristics too and we got a lot of gossip on the next season's equipment. At the timeI did it, Rome was a brand new company and Burton were just releasing their first P1s! |

Their head office is in Staffs I think.
If you look on Natives > Jobs, there is another company that do a 3 day course for £450 that covers everything from baord maintenance to boot fitting. |

| I did a one day course with the Snowboard Klinik a few years ago to learn to wax, edge and do base repairs. I recommend doing something like that if you want to learn more and don't know anyone who can show you, although edging and waxing is easy enough. They also do (did?) a longer course involving base grinds and edge repairs at the end of which you get a technician's certificate in case you want to do it full time or as a seasonaire. |

after the araldite has set properly (24hrs ish) am i then safe to file it to make it look as pretty as before... and what about adding summat to the glue to colour it black to match the board |

if the actual edge has been bent then id take it to a ski/board tech.
i smashed my edge on a rail last season and bent it and it came away from the base and split from the top sheet. a quick sort out from the tech for like 5 quid got it fixed instead of leaving it to get worse. |

ouch, today i bumped into my wife boarding (literally) and damaged my board, the damage to my cheek bone that impacted on her helmet will probably be more apparent in the morning.
I am uploading a couple of pictures to the gallery and will post a link when the moderator approves the pics.
then i am looking for advice on repairs
cheers

| sounds fine to me - make sure no de-lamming (spelling?!?!) has occured and no moisture can get in and you should be good to go - post a pic up here and someone with more knowledge and experience will give an educated point of view rather than my random ramblings...hope that helps |

One of the edges on my board took a dink and now has a slight dent which has caused the laquered top layer to bubble slightly. 
What's the best way to repair this without casuing further damage, and can i do this myself or is it a job for a specialist? Am i just better off leaving it as it is (adding to the character?) |
