Board Bandages FAQ
Instant surfboard ding repair made easy. Fix it fast. Surf faster.
Board Bandages are an instant surfboard ding repair kit made from multilayered vinyl with a proprietary textured top sheet and a 3M adhesive designed specifically for surfboard repair. They are waterproof, waxable, UV resistant, durable, recyclable, and made in the USA. If you have a fiberglass surfboard or an epoxy surfboard with a ding, Board Bandages is your go-to surfboard patch kit.
It is as simple as: Peel. Stick. Surf.
1. Dry the dinged surfboard area.
2. Make sure it is free of wax, sand, and sunscreen.
3. Peel off the backing and apply your Board Bandage over the ding.
No mixing resin, no curing, no tools. The perfect DIY surfboard solution when you want to fix a surfboard ding fast.
Duct tape is not waterproof and actually absorbs water. It gets soggy, lifts, and lets water into your surfboard ding. It also leaves sticky residue on your board and tends to peel off after a few waves.
Board Bandages are fully waterproof, UV resistant, durable, and leave no residue when removed. For real surfboard ding repair, duct tape is a temporary, messy hack. Board Bandages are a clean, purpose-built solution.
Most random stickers are paper-based or not designed to be waterproof. They soak up water, bubble, peel, and allow water into your surfboard ding. They are made for laptops and water bottles, not surfboard repair.
Board Bandages are engineered as a true surfboard repair kit: multilayered vinyl, waterproof, UV resistant, waxable, and recyclable. They actually seal the ding and protect your board instead of pretending to.
Surf wax is not waterproof, melts in the sun, and does not form a real seal. It can shift and crack, allowing water to seep into your fiberglass surfboard or epoxy surfboard. Over time, that can lead to waterlogging and delamination.
Board Bandages create an instant, watertight seal over the ding. They are designed for surf ding repair, so your board stays protected until, or instead of, a full resin repair.
Board Bandages can be used on epoxy surfboards, fiberglass surfboards, funboards, shortboards, longboards, and soft-tops for minor dings and cracks. If it is a surfboard and it floats, Board Bandages can fix it.
They can be a long-term fix or a temporary one, depending on what you want. Board Bandages are tough enough to stay on your board for the long haul, but when you are ready for a full epoxy resin surfboard repair or a trip to a surfboard repair shop, you can peel them off.
They leave no sticky residue, so your board is clean and ready for a more permanent repair if you choose.
Yes. Board Bandages are UV resistant and built to handle long sessions in the sun without breaking down or peeling.
You can wax right over them just like the rest of your deck. They integrate into your normal surf setup instead of getting in the way.
Board Bandages are recyclable and made in the USA. They offer a cleaner, more efficient alternative to messy, disposable resin kits, duct tape, and random stickers that fail quickly and get tossed.
Traditional epoxy surfboard repair kits and resin kits like Solarez can work, but they require mixing, sanding, curing time, and some skill. If you get it wrong, you can easily mess up the look and performance of your board.
Board Bandages are an instant ding repair kit: no mixing, no sanding, no waiting. You clean the area, stick the patch on, and paddle back out. It is the fastest way to fix a surfboard ding and save the session.
Duct tape absorbs water, is not waterproof, and leaves residue. Random stickers are often paper-based and soak up water. Surf wax melts in the sun and does not seal dings.
Board Bandages are waterproof, durable, UV resistant, waxable, easy to put on, leave no residue, made in the USA, and recyclable. For real surf ding repair and fast surfboard repair, they are the superior fix kit for any kind of surfboard.
