How to: Make any ledge slide

By masterkickflip at 2009-09-13 23:53

So, have that one ledge in your town, perfect height, away from everything, but won't slide for anything? Well, for about 6 dollars and a trip to a local Home Depot or Lowes, you can make it buttery in less than a day. Youll need:

-
-A rub brick
-Instant drying clear lacquer
-A ledge
-
-
-
-
Step 1: Use the rub brick to grind the top and side(s) of the ledge down until it is perfectly smooth. This will probably take a good 20 minutes with a few people working if it's a chunky ledge. Blow off the dust left on the ledge.
-
-
Step 2: Spray a big coating of the instant drying lacquer. You want it pretty thick, just enough so it won't run, but a hearty amount. Let it dry for about a half hour, regardless of what the directions say.
-
-
Step 3: One more coat of lacquer. Make it thick again, and make sure to get a lot of the ledge, remember, sides and top! You'll need it for bluntslides and nose/tailslides. Now let both coats dry overnight.
-
-
Step 4: Wax! Coat this thing in wax, everywhere you lacquered.
-
-
You're ready to skate your ledge! Have fun with your new spot, and watch as it gets blown out, then find another ledge. Good luck!

Thanks man ill try it soon! Does it work for grinding?

Oh hell yes! I actually tried turtle wax on my home-made junk rail and it rocks! But only for an hour or two. This though, sounds pro and more realistic then turtle wax.
Also is this the same as buttery ass mondays? The same materials I mean?

Thanks man, don't worry I'm gonna put both sigs up randomly haha. Anyways, the turtle wax does help a lot with both grinds and slides. It lasts a few hours of not a couple just depends. I like to put candle wax on the rail first then coat it with turtle wax. haha that's just me I have no other access to other materials.

But I will try and buy all that stuff listed in the first post someday.
