I have been putting wood glue on my tail after im done skating for the day. so the next day a wear through the glue and not the tail. I think it slows the wear of the tail pretty well. here is video i followed [VIDEO]
Not the worst one I've seen and it's better than mine lol I'm waiting on a new custom complete order coming overseas, though... However you can actually use wood glue to form extra material. I actually tried to use wood putty yesterday, thinking that they might work even better since they contain sawdust as far as I know. I hope it worked well lol [VIDEO] this guy in the video does a good job explaining.
You actually can use wood glue to slow down tail wear by quite a lot – I’ve been doing this for a couple of months, and it helps quite a bit. But yeah, so far the deck is basically still brand new. [VIDEO]
