Hey /diy/, 2 questions:
So I have a longboard (pic related) that is 9 ply, and I love this thing. Only now that I've had it for a while, I wish it was lighter. My friend has a similar one that's 7 ply, and it's much lighter.
Is it possible to sand off 2 layers without doing damage, or something weird to the board? It needs new grip tape anyway, so I'd rather sand off the top so I can keep the graphic also.
Cont.

2/2
2nd question, the nose of the board has checked it's fair share of curbs while I was still learning, and as a result a large chip formed there (pic related).
Is there a way to repair this?
Thanks in advance

Glue and clamps or cut it off

The top and bottom plys are often made of stronger, higher quality wood because those layers take more abuse in terms of loading and weather. Best to leave them in place.

Not sure what you mean here

That was my thought also, kindve cheap wood sandwiched between nicer wood. I'll leave it alone then
