After watching a youtube video on how-to solder thought it would work a treat.

didn't go as well as planned!

Any ideas on how to replace an edge diy style?

thanks

buy new skis.

or just live with it and ski on it. since it's right underneath the underfoot it won't really matter or be that noticeable.
 
im sorry but you fail so much. why wouldnt you just take your skis to your local ski shop for them to fix or tell you what to do instead of trusting a youtube video?
 
the edge on my old ar5's blew out a bit ago, only a few inches. I tried 3 times to fix it with different bonds and expoys, nothing worked for more than a few runs. take it to a shop that can guarantee their work or move on to fancy new skis.
 
fail? never! I thought they looked just like new now?

Your right tho should probably of taken them to the shop but this is the second time this shit has went down and tried to give it a bash myself. not the best of ideas!
 
bingo, lead or silver solder is super soft and wont stay, you need some hard ass metal
 
dad has a welder in the garage a think. Might ask him to give it a go because I dont have a clue. Anyone done it before?
 
yes, welding is easy with the right type of welder and someone who knows what they are doing. you gotta be really careful with the heat from the weld heating the ski up too much. tig is the best bet for that thin edge.
 
epoxy that shit; parkskis will still work pefectly with only a small piece of edge missing + it wont break again....
and soldering isn't the way to replace an edge, either epoxy or (altough it seems very weird to me) weld it....
 
epoxy doesnt work that well

OPs problem is that he bought Amplids. My freind ripped the edge out of two pairs of dogmas within 20 days. My townships ripped out on day 21. NOw both of my right edges no longer have any edge and my one left edge is randomly ripping out a little over halfway between tip and center, there is no edge crack it just feels like pulling out. Once you loose a piece of edge it doesnt stop on those skis

Bottom lline

AMPLID EDGES SUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
welding is a terrible idea, it will destroy the rest of the ski.

just leave it be, or get new skis.
 
thats a really bad soldering job, did you practice alittle before? anyways you would need to weld it id say if you want to fix it with out spending money, file or grind it off? haha good luck!
 
try some different epoxy;
i used to have regular epoxy to fix my skis booboos and it worked ok, but then i got some marine grade flexible epoxy and it just rocked!!
no more chipping or cracking of the epoxy....
and edges blowing out is something you hear of (almost) EVERY ski brand; its just something that happens; one batch of skis against the other can differ a lot ....
