Stanchion + Dropper Post Scratch Repair | GMBN Tech How To

About spraying the fork with silicone spray - does that in any way interfere with the oil inside the fork?

What is the lower part called and if it gets scratched does it matter

What metal polish did you use? I tried Brasso and it ate the epoxy right off.

Very usefull

Does it work for the rear too?

Is it necessary to use the metal polish?

How long do u recommend for the nail polish to sit before using? I know till its rock hard. But how long did u wait in this video?

can i do the same for a gold Stanchion fork ?

I know this is old but that's a sic wristwatch you're rockin. Noice 👍

Hi Doddy, any tips on working on a scratched kashima coat?

My front forks are matte black, when they scratch the silver comes through and looks obvious, as long as the scratch isn’t too big a quick little fix is a black sharpie, doesn’t fully hide it but makes it much less obvious

Technique seems to work fairly well. However, just one or two applications of polish hasn't seemed to fill the scratch. I've removed excess using a razor on my first few attempts, as others below have mentioned, but it might be pulling some of the fill out or leaving a small lip. This is possibly why the video just sands down the fill, rather than cutting away excess. I have a feeling this repair just buys some time as I can't imagine the polish lasts very long being exposed to oil, grease, and friction.

Can you use black colourer nail varnish to match the forks?

Finished product?

Thanks for this video ❤

Great video, but you didn’t show us the finished product! How do I know what it supposed to look like?

This is seriously a great way to f**k your forks even more, don't do this!

This helped so godamn much

It's a shame they don't make rubber boots for stanchions to protect those babies.

Thank you.

How much of a problem are these scratches on a coil fork

Tandy??

hey where is the finished job? I know something going wrong here

Thank you so much it saved me from buying a new fork.

Superglue is best.

Superglue or cyanoacrylate is actually the key component in wood filler.

Don’t worry my dads a tv repair man we can fix this

Cover up the markings before sanding. Nail polish isn't that hard I guess. Better use UV Resin

Amazing idea but will this work for inverted forks of my motorcycle?

3 years ago ur taking bout radio shack!!?? That place is long dead haha

Not the first time he's buffed his shaft. lol

Should you buy forks with marked stanchions 😕

You r really intelligent dude.👍👍
Keep sharing ur knowledge

first tape everything aroud the dent so you don’t scratch everything around the dent

AH! I'm glad I filed this video away in case of disaster, and my ticket finally came up. Your guidance worked perfectly!

I just finished polishing up a triple gouge I filled with a spot of clear epoxy. It looks like a tiny tiger took a swipe at my stanchion. My poor Fox 36s have a battle wound, but will wear it safely and proudly. Every ding cones with a story to tell!

It would be great to see a video about filling dings in carbon frames. My Yeti Lunch Ride has many (many) miles on it, and has the scars to prove it. The white and occasional black scar really stand out against the turquoise paint. I assume automobile touch-up paint would work, but I'm not sure if it will negatively react with the carbon.

What if the scratch is just a hairline? Do I need to do anything?

Pls help me my stanchioni is falling when I bounce

Could you use a gold color nail color to match the gold stanchion or only the nail clear coatings? Great tip, thanks

There is actually a repair that can be made with epoxy. I have also seen brazing rode used and then sand smooth. I prefer epoxy and then spray with a Teflon paint. Great advice here for smaller job's.

I have a question - the stanchion of my fork has a scratch but its barely noticeable but when I touch it using the tip of my finger nail I feel like theirs a ridge on the scratch

Thank you for the tip. Saves a lot of money and hassle.

Can i use my girlfriends black nail polish is that the same or i need this nail varnish thing?

What is a better seat for this bike?

I try it

Hi Doddy, is this also gonna work on a small dent in the stanchion tube!? Many thanks in advance!

can you use superglue instead of nail varnish?

Black varnish then you dont need to colour it

Can one use black nail polish? Does it have to be clear?
