you don't need to switch your skis around, just use the apoxy and if you do it right, it'll be set.

Yeah, just epoxy and sand them down, or take it to a shop for a grind if you want a nice finish. P-tex won't hold in a coreshot, especially on the edge. Some people say half epoxy then then p-tex on top is good but the head tuner where I work uses only epoxy on his jib skis.
