Honestly I'm using hobby store epoxies for repairing chips, gashes, and delams. Haven't had any issues at all. They're usually two equal parts, come in small bottles and are relatively affordable. As far as the brand goes I'm using nhp. Clean the two surfaces that have peeled away before bonding. Also if the skis are really new and havent been abused, check out warranty. Good luck man!
G flex again. It's expensive but it's more flexible when it sets, works way better than 5 minute stuff. What I used on my pairs before I joined ON3P.

OH shite. Yeah use this stuff. NHP is some old bottles my dad had laying around........ The good and new stuff we use for model airplanes (and ski repair) is West System's G-Flex

Trying to buy off ns help someone get some cash and me some g flex
if you can't get your hands on g-flex, araldite slow setting epoxy has worked fine for me, generally speaking you just want to go for a slow curing epoxy since these tend to become less brittle than the fast curing ones which is exactly what you want on a ski-repair ...
