The tip of my ski has separated from the plastic and the edging. I tried using gorilla plastic glue and clamping it down and i left if over night but didn't work. I'm sure this has happened to a lot of you, any ideas?
 
epoxy dat shit mang, lots of it, clamp it down and let it dry for a couple days. or duct tape, duct tape works wonders. also i've used JB weld for tip delamination before

Yea I've smashed my skis into a couple of rails and the tips just ripped out and the endge bent, I used epoxy and clamped it overnight and it was pretty good. there in about 1 mm difference from the ski and the edge but that isn't a problem.
 
Fixed delam on one pair of skis and my edge on the tip of another ski blew out. G Flexed them and it's held perfectly.

It's never let me down.
 
The thing about epoxy is, you want to make sure you have completely filled every gap and hole and get as much in the delammed area as possible, then clamp it down until it dries. I have done some pretty ugly epoxy patches that I was able to sand off the excess and make it look clean by the end, so don't be shy about getting messy.
 
ive been lucky with tip separations but when ive dealt with them i think doing a good thorough epoxy job plus some high quality duck tape is the best approach
 
I used gorilla glue, and that held up for a little more than a week for me. I ended up using electical tape, mainly because the season was going to end in a week.
