 Poster: A snowHead
|
Alright guyst,
I've got a set of Scott Missions I bought second hand, they are quickly and badly delaminating from the front and from the edges. The topsheet isn't like a normal ski it's like a thick plastic layer, looks a bit like those holograms you used to get in cereal boxes.
My question is - is it necessary or can I just pull it off? It seems the whole ski is epoxy sealed inside so I can't see why I don't just remove the plastic cover. I've tried gluing it back but this only lasted a few days and now parts of the plastic are actually cracking off. See picture for illustration!
Cheers guys, I'm out in Morzine for the season and just want them to last another week or so, fed up of taping/gluing them daily now!

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

Is it just a protective film, like you get on new mobile phones and the shiny edges on things like TVs and printers?

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

Pieholeo - no it's a thick plastic glued on sheet, it's just coming off that's the problem.
AndAnotherThing... This is my plan! Just need to check here that I'm not going to be ruining the ski or getting the core damp or anything like that before I do it.
Any more info appreciated.

Contact Scott and ask for advice... With a bit of luck you'll get a replacement.

Cynic were yours second hand?
I've contacted them but they asked for a load of photos, which I sent, and a proof of purchase which I obviously don't have, now they've gone a bit quiet and I need to ski! Fed up of taping them every day as well.
Cheers,
George.

grandmasterorge, if bonded properly with Araldite 2011 or Hardmans Double Bubble Blue & clamped until cured they hold fine.

grandmasterorge, problem is these were made in 2009/10 you would have to be original purchaser for it to be warranty I think.

Yeh I agree with you Cynic - although if you don't ask, you don't get! The first email response I had from them was within 1 day and this has been 5 or 6 days now, just wish they'd reply quickly so I could crack on with gluing/cutting them if they are out of warranty and getting on with skiing!

grandmasterorge, get in! They were very good with me supplied via snow and rock, slight problem The Mission is no longer made.

Slight problem/slight benefit? I was kind of wanting for a twin-tip anyway so with any luck they'll replace them with a modern day equivalent, maybe the Punisher?

You know it makes sense.

The Mission is being relaunched next season.
