Fixing edge with super glue?

[paprikapringles]

ive ripped about an ince of egde clean out with no damage to the base just got a little gap. could i use superglue to fill the hole in to stop any water damage to the core or will the superglue eat away at anyof the materials inside , i got no clue? any useful info would be great

use epoxy , and it will be fine

2 points: superglue reacts with surfaces, it's used to glue stuff together effectively but it's much less adequate for 'filling' stuff ....second: super glue is generally speaking quite brittle and will shatter and break out of your repaired spot ...

as mentioned epoxy glue will be much better, especially the slow curing marine grade epoxies since these tend to remain flexible and 100%waterproof

I used superglue to fix my blown out edge. It's still holding up after a few days or skiing.

cool, did it react with the base or anything? .

It didn't seem too. The edge was separated from the sidewall so I just filled the gap, didn't have a clamp so I let it settle in then chiseled off the bubbles after it dried. I used gorilla super glue. good enough

It doesnt seem like that would last too long
