How do I stop the pealing on Salomon Suspect's?

Pictures will help. 'Peeling' is too broad of a term, is the topsheet separating, is the fiberglass separating from the core, the base? Major or minor delamination? We can't help with such a vague explanation.
 
If it's on the tip/tail, duct tape. If it's anywhere else, ski until they are unsafe and get new skis. Common problem with those skis.
 
They are suspects, I guarantee they are the topsheets. Same thing happened to mine from 2010, I rode mine until there was a solid inch of topsheet missing from either side of each ski.
 
Assuming your ski is delaminating, epoxy and a clamp work well. if its in the tip or tail you could also rivet it.

ya that just happens i think i got mine in '09 and now only ski them to fuck around in the park or somethin. But mine have like half of the sheet off. Personally wouldn't buy suspects again mine also show stress marks on the tips and tails....... and fuck salomon bindings
 
I personally have had a ton of pre releases from the plastic sth14 toes that salomon use to put out. I did get the forward pressure checked out and am riding them at 11 when I should be riding them at 8.
 
Thats top sheet chipping, its happened because you are hitting your edge against the top sheet. A metal edge is much harder then the top sheet so the edge wins and the top sheet gets damaged.

It will do nothing to the ski, other then looking shit. Try to not hit your skis together in the future.
 
Another fix you can go for is get some clear nail polish. Just paint/pour it on, layer by layer, allowing it to dry between coats. That's a pretty big area though, so a higher end epoxy may work better. But, being in the tip, an area prone to getting knicked and flexing you might just be better off going a cheap temp fix and saving your pennies for new shred sticks.
 
Yeah I would run a coat of like 20 minute hobby epoxy over that (G-Flex would be best) do a few coats and be carefull not to get it on the base. I would run the epoxy up and over the edge of the chipping and peeling to, to seal it all up. Hope that makes sense, good luck!
