 Poster: A snowHead
|
I just bought a pair of secondhand skis on Ebay (Icelantic Scout  ).
The tips have been bashed together a bit with the result the edge of the topsheet has some minor (and not-so-minor) gouges round the tips. (I do the same thing with my missions, so I expect to carry on where the previous owner left off!)
Can anyone recommend some sort of protective coating to apply? I'm worried about moisture getting in and freezing and maybe starting some delamination.

jonno, agree with altis, little blobs of araldite on the offending areas, leave it to go hard (at least a day or so. Then carefully sand to shape with some small bits of fine sandpaper / wet and dry. I use masking tape /duct tape so i don't scratch the top sheet if you are being picky/ or its a shiny top sheet.

but make sure it is decent flexible araldite, the cheap (or not so cheap) stuff from B&Q may split or crack as the ski is flexed... sure Jon will be along soon to tell you the part number of the right stuff to use, i have some but can't remember the model

JB Weld and Duck tape will fix everything. It won't look nice though.

Phew! When you said very expensive I thought you were using a bit of poetic license... 30GBP for 2x100 ml tubes of 2011 (and that's cheaper than 2012)!
