Not to paint my toes as some repair material for small ding / scratch repair? I have been using a clear coat "hard as nails" to patch. Am I doing my harm than good? It does look fabulous 😍

Hey Ben,

It sort of depends on whether the Nail polish gets to your EPS core if you
have one in your board. There are a number of chemicals in Nail Polish that
would melt polystyrene. Probably works OK for sealing up small holes, or
cracks where it seeps in to the Epoxy (I've used it myself for that), but if the
hole or crack is big (and runs all the way through the laminate) it could melt
the core and make a void that could fail.

Thanks Craig, most definitely for small touch ups scratches. My last board looked great until the entire bottom delaminated. Oh well. Cheers,!
