You can use a bitumen paint or burn on a felt layer.\n\nSimply sealing a crack will likely not stop the problem (although it might reduce it enough that you don't care).

Talk to the eBay seller.\n\nThey might have tips for you or they might replace it.\n\n///

Brush Them with Salt and Baking Soda :-) with a little tooth paste

This is going to sound weird, but toothpaste has historically worked for me. Just swirl it around on the surface and then wash it off - it fills in the scratches wonderfully.

Use a good quality automotive undercoat first - especially one formulated for aluminium or similar.\n\nOnce the paintwork is restored, apply several coats of a good automotive lacquer (this will really give the paint job depth and lustre too). Finally, apply specially made PVC protective sheet to all areas likely to be scratched (good bike shops and some car accessory dealers will stock this). Once on this gives permanent protection and looks fine.

You scratched the glass and that is showing up in the reflection. \n\nTry rubbing a little non-gel toothpaste into the scratch and then polish with a soft cloth.\n\nAlternatively try mixing 1 part dry mustard and 1 part white vinegar into a paste. Apply paste to the scratch. Polish with a soft cloth.

ive been skiing since i was 2 and i can do this pretty well. it depends on the binding. there is a screw on the back of the binding. loosen it, then push it back or foward(depending if the boot is too big or to small) once it is in the right position then you need to tighten the screw. if it is giving you trouble then take it into the ski shop.

I always use warm water and mild dish soap. This will clean the disk if there isn't alot of deep scratches.

put on a pair of mid calf white thick socks / thick wool ones work also.  wrap once from the bottom to the top without too many creases with duct tape, then place an old inner sole from one of your old shoes and wrap again with more duct tape.  that's what i'd do if you didn't have to have certain regulations or email me and my friends in houston will tell me how to get them or they may even have an extra pair

Get a buckets and fill it with soap and hot water. You can use a scrub brush if you want to, but I usually just rub them around in my hands. Then dry them with a towel. Presto! \n\nThis is a good time to throw your clubs in and scrub them clean as well ;)

Actually there is a tool designed just for that purpose (although the screwdriver will work) and is easy on the hands (unlike the screwdriver). You can find it at any clubmaking website for around $12 dollars. The removal tool alone won't do anything. Gotta have the solvent too.\n\nAnother method is using a special syringe with grip solvent as mentioned earlier. This method is somewhat dangerous so be careful or you'll inject grip solvent into you hand or arm or other part of your body. It can kill you. \n\nA method rarely mentioned to remove/reuse golf grips is to use compressed air. Wrap the grip in a towel (so the grip doesn't pop like a balloon) and force air into the little hole at the butt end of the grip. It takes a little practice, but it works great. After a few burst of air the grip will slide right off. The only problem is you need an air compressor, hose, nozzle, etc.\n\nAll of this applies to steel shafts. Don't go messing around with composite shafts. They scratch too easily.\n\nThe best thing to do is just cut the grip off (with a box cutter razor) and install a new grip. Anyway, grips are too inexpensive to try and save. Never try to save an old, worn grip. They're already dead. Cut it off and get a new one.

Try the bigger brands, such as head, fischer, atomic, salamon for the skis. You should be able to get a good pair of intermediate ones for that price. I recomend salamon for boots.

There are some avenues you could explore if you are curious:\n\nGoogle the ski, look for matching graphics, since they change the graphics every year. Once you find matching graphics, see if the site posts the year the skis were made.\n\nGo to the library and look through ski magazine gear review issues to find them. Usually there is only one major publication yearly that lists all of the major new gear. Your skis should be in one of those. The problem is, the library may have thrown away the old copies.\n\nTake the skis to a shop. They should be able to give you a ballpark year, if not an exact year.\n\nGood luck.\n\nSince you bought the skis off of ebay, you probably want to take them to a shop and have the bindings inspected and adjusted, so ask the shop people when you stop in.

There are small kits for windshield rock chip repair and scratches.  This would work to fill in the scratches on your Ipod.  Do it gently and follow the instructions carefully and don't be in a rush...take your time ok?  Go slow, you hae deep groves in the glass that need to be filled in although this might cause the screen to appear wavy if you don't apply it correctly or put on too much!  Like I said take you time, its worth it.

Those things work by filling in the scratches with a wax like substance.  Ive heard bad things about them.  Ive found that the best way to repair a scratched cd or dvd is by taking it to my local Hollywood Video.  They have a machine that takes of the entire first layer of the disc.  They charge me $2 per disc or $1 if its more than 5.  Then, make a copy. Hope that helps

you might want to go during the summer to a ski shop. they will have boards that they demoed last year in good condition and good quality for cheap prices. also you might want to get last years modle. i got $1100 skis for $400 and they were really nice. you would also want to get last years modle for boots. that doesn't mean there bad the ski shop just wants to get rid of them. you might want to go to a ski swap because that stuff is usually good. if you need to you might want to use ebay but im not sure the security of that. good luck finding the gear!
