WHY USE SCRATCH COVER?
 |
Although most modern forks feature sealed cartridges, a scratched stanchion can lead to premature wear. The impact has caused material displacement with a protruding burr on the surface¹ and a rough spot in the body². You risk quickly damaging your suspension:
These consequences lead to several problems:

IMPORTANT NOTE: This product is intended to repair surface scratches only. If your stanchion has been deformed, contact your dealer's after-sales service immediately and do not use your fork under any circumstances.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
The Scratch Cover © stanchion scratch repair kit includes all the accessories needed to repair your stanchion without any other tools, whether at home or on the go (traveling or competing).
The repair is carried out in 4 steps:
WHAT AESTHETIC RESULT CAN BE EXPECTED?
|
Because no two scratches are alike, no two results are the same. Scratch Cover's priority is to make the plunger smooth again to extend the fork's life. The aesthetic result is more unpredictable and will largely depend on the depth of the scratches: the deeper the scratch, the easier it is to fill with resin; the more superficial the scratch, the more difficult it will be to conceal because the surface treatment is extremely fine. In most cases, Scratch Cover will not make your plunger look like new, but it will visually reduce the appearance of the scratch.. |
 | Works for all stanchionsScratch Cover can be used on all the stanchions : Fork, dropper post, rear air shock. Tools and process are similar for all of them. |
Available in 2 colorsScratch Cover is available in black or transparent resin. |  |
To repair your fork stanchion, you only need a cloth, some chain oil and a little water.
Obviously it is easier to disassemble the faulty part so you can work on it more easily.

Why does it take 6 to 8 hours to dry?
We use a high strength epoxy resin. This resin is a thermosetting liquid polymer. Its drying time can vary from 6 to 8 hours depending on the ambient temperature and humidity. Make sure to mix the 2 liquids for at least 3 minutes, this step is key so that the resin dries completely within the announced time.
Shouldn't I replace my fork stanchion after a knock?
If it''s only a surface knock, you don''t need to replace the fork stanchion. The most important thing is to repair it as soon as you can after the knock so the seals don''t get damaged.
Is there a specific version for Kashima © coating stanchion?
There is currently no gold version for Kashima stanchions. We recommend using transparent resin.
