Of the 250 or so buckle/snap repairs
I did as per the descriptions in these pages, (1) came back after a
year, with a new snap nearby - turns out, the first time around I had overlooked a Divinycell butt joint
a few inches out of sight. All others
surfed on. Some I followed for many years, as they returned with
unrelated ailments. One, a Surftech veneer buckle repair, returned 2
years later with a new buckle, 18" distant from the edge of my earlier
repair: the board had once again been stressed beyond its design limit,
my repair held, the original structure failed
