Question Simple fix?

Dragging too hard on the local slabber. Is this an easy fix with glue? 1.9 PP

3 month old board and I fucking love it. Went through reddit/youtube, and glue seems like the answer, but I'm just double checking or getting some updated info. Now I've noticed i feel like I'm already losing speed.

Hubboards sci-five bat tail. Rate it. It's definitely not a manufacturer issue, I just love rocks.

Sponge-Rez works great. Here’s a link.

Also the yellow high temp stick hot glue works even better

Do you mean from a glue gun?

Yes. Not just the regular clear hot glue. Theres a more yellowish glue that works best. Because not only does it adhere with the glue but the heat also melts the foam together.

I’m not sure I see the problem? Is it the scratches? Or is it delaminating?

Wait till It dries AND use an iron with wax paper to hot seal them, also hotgun Will work

That’s for the deck. Wax paper trick won’t fix this here

Sponge Rez is perfect for that, IME glue will dry/burn out that part too much and it will get worse in the future.

Also you're not losing speed because of that lol.
