Once the fiber board is deteriorated you're in a tough position. I soaked mine with fiberglass resin and used fiberglass mat the patch the weak areas. I turned out....tolerable. It doesn't look good, but it's better than it was.

I put some pictures in this thread:

honestly this is the one thing that I would definitely spend the cash on having professionally done, by the time you total up the cost of everything to do it yourself, correctly, its going to even out because you aren't buying in bulk.

I did mine before the shell deteriorated and the adhesive didn't hold, others have had theirs disintegrate taking it out.

Cost me $150 to have the destroyed one in my Quad re-done (18 years in California sun) and it was worth every penny!

How did you do that? You just took it to a shop, f#(ked up board and all? I just didnt see how you could even make one from scratch, it's a complex shape.

The board was not too bad, but it was in several pieces.

They did a geeat job. Fabric is a perfect match and it's very sturdy.

However I didn't stand around and watch. Just picked it up the next day and it's fine.
