 Poster: A snowHead
|
In photo is a pair of used skis. It seems that the sidewall on the tail has been removed too much so the laminated structure could been seen.
What will happen to these skis and how long will the skis last? Anyway to repair?

Given the exposed layer looks pretty porous I would think they will delaminate fairly quickly - water will get in low down (on a warm day) then freeze and force layers apart when you go high. I would seal while dry with a thin layer of epoxy to prolong life.

I'd be inclined to fill the edge with some epoxy (Araldite or similar) to keep moisture out.

Similar thoughts, but along the lines of polyurethane glue if that's the core material in the ski. Is the "foam" core polyurethane material?

Looks like you've got the makings of a nice wall ornament for your 'home bar'.
