I just bought a pair of brand new chronics saturday and I was trying them on and seeing how heavy they were and My razor sharp edged took a big slice out of the side of the topsheet. Can I warranty them and get them back before the end of november? I can't take them back to the shop because they were the last pair but does anyone know if I can fix them? I know its cosmetic but They've never been skied.

it's mainly because the edges are razor sharp. I cut my finger fealing the chunk.

I'm gonna fill it with epoxy but somebody said it eats away the topsheet. I doubt this, I'm probably going to destroy them by the end of the season and then warranty them.

What type of epoxy should you use? I tried this on my chronics from last year and the epoxy just came out...probably from the flexing of the ski.....I only want to fill it so I don't get moisture in my core...maybe some silicon caulking would work...any help would be appreciated

All you have to do is take care of your skis off of the slopes...keep them waxed, store them somewhere warm and dry...then ski the shit out of them...don't worry about breaking them on the slopes...chances are they will last you and if they don't Line won't blame it on you and will replace them

I was wearing them to see how heavy the were and I must have crossed the tails. It doesn't matter much So I'm gonna fill it with epoxy.

just dull the edges a bit, if you have edges that sharp, you'll get thrashed the first time you hit a rail any ways
