Giving an Old Skateboard a New Life

Huge THANK YOU to Upstart Epoxy for sponsoring this video! If you would like some epoxy use my referral link: https://www.upstartepoxy.com/?ref=NXD...



In this video I give an old skateboard a new life. The skateboard was recovered from a house fire that was started from a lightning strike. I purchased it from an auction where all the proceeds were donated to the family whose house burned down.


Previously in this video:    • Skateboard Restoration - Wheels Made From ...   I recreated a new deck and discarded this deck. But I wanted to preserve this awesome piece of history.


First, I started by building a form to pour the epoxy in. I made 2 mistakes. I should have sealed the wooden deck to prevent air bubbles and also I forgot to use mold release tape. This caused me a lot of extra work and hours to correct, SO DON’T FORGET THE MOLD RELEASE!


Once I got the shape cut out and sanded it was time for a final top coat of epoxy then an epoxy spray to seal the whole thing and provide a nice shine. I found an electric skateboard conversion kit online and thought it would be perfect for this project.


I hope you guys enjoyed the video, if you do leave a like and a comment. Subscribe if you would like to see more awesome content ;).


Much Love,
Dr Restoration
