P tex on topsheet

[CallMeMoonman]

can i use p tex to the top sheet on my skis cuz they have a minor chip on them

 

[monkatizer]

is ur core exposed?? if it is, then i would try it, if its not theres no need to worry, its a chip

If you can see core or stringy bits of fibreglass then put a bit of resin/2-part epoxy on it to seal it otherwise water can get into your core.
If it doesn't go to the core... who cares. Battle scars! Somewhat smashed up skis look good IMO.

p-tex will chip off quite easily if you use it on the topsheet. If the chip is down to the core then dripping a lil it of p-tex in the hole will help it from getting worse. if the p-tex you drip on isnt flush with the topsheet then it will chip off quite easily. if at all possible use epoxy its perfect for topsheet chipping. im pretty sure they sell clear epoxy at home depot

No need to do anything it is to fiberglass.

yea or jb weld i think could work. never done it but thats what i thought of. but really who cares about little chips as long as its not to the core

 

[rozboon]

Sometimes you get bits of the weave that weren't saturated in resin when the ski was built, or for whatever reason... they stick out like frayed bits of string and will wick water. Considering it only takes 10 seconds to put a blob of epoxy on them... better safe than sorry.

3rd gen k2 public enemies. heavy as fuck

I'm pretty sure jb weld is fully rigid, so as soon as the ski flexes the repair would pop right out. Like people were saying, get epoxy if you're really worried.

This is correct. Epoxy is the ticket.
