It’s a straight forward repair - a bit of metal grip and Ptex should be fine

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

I do have to wonder if you had one ski where the KERS system stopped working how many skiers would notice the difference between the two skis? I always assumed it was 99% marketing BS anyway.

@Tubaski, I'm certain I couldn't notice the difference.
There again I didn't notice when the trails of my first pair of head titans delaminated until I actually liked at them....

@cryptic_elf, maybe give @spyderjon a call at The Piste Office. He'll be able to advise on what you need to buy and hopefully how to do it.

There's no damage to the existing edge so a properly done repair won't require any 'special' protection.

My experience is that if the repair area is large The ptex can “come out.”. When its up against the edging ...might save you having it repaired again

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

@yorkshirelad,
If you just try and fill it with ptex then it'll probably fall out, but metalgrip, or an epoxy-ed in patch (looks a bit small for that in this case) should stay there.

You know it makes sense.
|
if your doing that on a regular basis buy the gear but id be saving myself the time and effort and dropping them in for a good service at a local ski shop.

Metal Grip is new to me - and looks to be good.

@radar, where are you based? (Just planning in case I damage my skis beyond my own repair capability in the future).

I’ll be going back to my county of my birth for the first time in nearly 20 years!
The Sugarhut is 3 miles from where I was born. No Towie then, it was The White Hart when I was a lad!
Where did I put those white stilettos and miniskirt? Now that’s showing my age.

Shout out to radar. He serviced my new skis and the edges were so sharp I could fully commit to carving on ice, and they held so well! I've got a new pair of skis coming and will be sending his way for first use prep for sure
