as long as it is not too deep, and not to the core or anything, I'd say hot glue or epoxy is sweet for just keeping the top filled it, but the hot glue might not bond so well, so I'm not positive. I don;t think it would hurt, so try it! maybe post a pic so we can get a better idea how you got a whole worthy of fixing up on your topsheet...

don't use hot glue. Plugs and epoxy are optimal, but epoxy is sufficient if you don't have plugs.

I've filled scrathes and holes on my skis with ptex just because i can, but i'm not going to drill into it or anything. People are saying its bad, but not why. If you're just doing cosmetic patches on it, p-tex seems to work for me. (although the clear p-tex candles have soot in the p-tex so it looks like shit, but black works really well if your ski is black...)

just get like a plastic/metal specific appoxy from any local hardware store. bring your skis in side, let them dry out for a day or two and put the shit on, sometimes you'll want to put a piece of tape over the appoxy, size depending
