Help please......what to do about a core shot.

[ILoveOhio]

Hey guys, I think I just got a core shot from hitting a box (summer setup. I'm so pissed because I didn't act abusive. How much is this gonna run me to get it fixed. I'm not sure if its a core shot though......the plastic/base material is gashed all the way to the graphics. How much will this run me at my shop (guess)?

 

[HeathR]

depends on the shop. My shop does it for free. But make sure they dont just put a petex candle on it. it will just come out.

Do it yourself, shops can be very expensive with fixing that.

i put p-tex on a core shot (wasnt that big though) and it was problem solved for 89 cents

 

[fouldsys]

if your that concerned about your skis i dont see why your hitting a box, in the summer, with skis you care about. theyre clearly going to get recked on any box let alone a summer set up.

 

[Stainr]

get a new one

 

[davar6]

definately depends on the shop

 

[lalalalaura]

Buy new ones, you have no choice but the consume more.

i petex my stuff

 

[SwitchMahFuckah]

I'd take it to a shop. Most have some special shit that when applied, is just as strong as the origional base is. If you try to fill it with a p-tex candle it will fall out eventually. It wont be that expensive, it depends on the size. At my shop we usually charge $5-$10.

 

[t-roy]

yeah probably just petex it. it is a quick fix and you could probably do it yoursel with a stick of the stuff and a lighter.

look it up....prolly some epoxy then some ptex

 

[mattster]

clean it up with an exacto knofe

yes, knofe, i refuse to fix that spelling error

anyways, make sure to cut some grooves into the wound so that your epoxy or your p tex (or both) will fit into it and junk

and when that doesnt work, youll have to spend alot of money on some new skis...

 

[sheepsrus]

cut out the shot so it's wider at the base /_\ like that and fill it with p-tex. works liek really gud.

 

[2planking]

would you not want it smaller at the base so it dosn't pop out?

 

[sheepsrus]

like, the closer to the core of the ski, the wider you make it. so you melt the p-tex in so it fills it up, and once it hardens it physically can't come out. also rough up the area, obviously.

 

[Sir.Pete]

poop in it

 

[2planking]

ya thats what i mean. whatever

 

[skibum193]

maybe 20 bucks... if it isnt to the actual core, just use ptex. that shit works miracles
