STEP 1:

Use a cleaning solution to remove any dirt or other residue from the top of the board.

STEP 2:

Prime your BoardStix by shaking them well and pressing down on the tip several times until they are saturated with color.

* We found that if you apply a light coat of clear finish and let it dry before applying the BoardStix they won't discolor your white board after removal.

STEP 3:

Apply the BoardStix just like you would any other paint pen or permanent marker.


* Make sure one color is dry before you add another color on top of it so that they don't mix.

STEP 4:

Wait a few minutes for your design to dry.

STEP 5:

To apply the clear finish, hold the can 10-12 inches away from the board and spray in a sweeping motion.

STEP 6:

Let the clear finish dry for 3 hours, then you're ready to ride.


* When you're ready for a new look, simply use a mild glass cleaner to remove the original design. We found that using an abrasive sponge is the most efficient way to remove the BoardStix. Note that BoardStix are not 100% removable on a white Blank snowboard and do leave some faint coloring.

    what happens if you spray a thin coat of finish down before you do artwork? will the board stay white? Will the markers even work?

    Hey Jak, I just tested it out for you and it seemed to work really well. Great idea! The markers worked just fine on top of the clear coat and I didn’t notice any discoloring when I removed them. I’ll update the tutorial so we can share this great tip with everyone else. Thanks again!
