Got home the other day and noticed a new dent/core shot on one ski, and a delamination (I think) on the other ski. I was hoping they would last me through the season but my hopes aren't too high right now. I have epoxy and ptex but want to make sure I handle it as well as possible, so any help would be appreciated. Anyways, heres some pics

G-Flex it, clamp the fuck out of it, scrape/grind the base and edge until smooth, then fill the ptex, you'll want to fill the hole a little bit with epoxy or the base weld stuff I can't remember the name of before a thin layer of ptex.

Someone should put together a short YouTube series on doing the different types of repairs, edge cracks, core shots, etc.

Get some high quality tape and put it on the sidewall of your ski around the bend so it is flush with the rest of your edge, then pour some West Systems G/flex epoxy into the forum you created.

The goal is to turn the bent edge Into part of the base, with the epoxy forming the new edge

Awful explanation, but here's a picture of a similar repair I did when a few inches of edge ripped out.

Use a file to make it smooth :)
