hmm
see i think if a lacker was put on top to prevent the paint from chipping er whatever would cause the flexation of the board to not be as much (i duno if flexation is even a word but i couldnt think of a nother one, so i made one up) but if there was some kind of paint of something that expands and didnt dry rock hard maybe that would be the solution!?
i dunno i still dont see how putting anythin on teh top of the board will change the flex of the board, i mean its tottaly up to the core of the board to determine the flex, not whats on top unless u put like maybe 10 rolls of duct tape on it
hah, I duno
lol just buy a new board and test out your ideas on a old one
