Advice for first time DIY split Hello, 

It seems like the slopes in my country are not gonna open at the beggining of the season, so I ordered  voile DIY kit to turn my old board into split. I watched all the tutorials how to use the kit and Im planning to get help from my granpa who is skillful carpenter and got all the tools needed. I got 1 shot to do this, unless I wanna use one of my older boards, both short park twins. 

Are there any tips/tricks and mistakes I should be aware of, before I ruin the board? Something guides forget to mention.

Before all the other comments, Im not planning to hike big mountains, just the unused slopes that are rarely steeper than 40°. I also am signed up for avalanche course early january, I dont expect much snowfall before that.
