It you got the funds, I recommend having a shop do it. Those guys do this stuff every day and it is very technical work. I used to work at a shop moons ago and got really good at it. I must admit that now I suck at doing major repairs (p-tex drip fills and base welds) although I can still do a pretty sweet wax job. I guess it all depends on your experience level and how much time/money you can afford. I took my old Ride Control rock board to the shop back in November cuz it needed some major work done on it and I was really glad to see the guys there did an AWESOME JOB fixing it up. It was about $65. It normally would have been like $40 but it needed a couple base welds. Besides, there is nothing like a fresh STONE GRIND texture finish on a board!
