ok so i have last years chronics and in some areas the topsheet has been peeling up. I searchbared and i think i should use epoxy but i dont really know what the means. How do i apply it and is it even necessary. Im pretty sure its just cosmetic but i dont want it to go in even farther. Im not really sure what to do so any help is good.

anything helps

when your ski is delaminating, their will be something peeling off, not like a tiny bit, but like a large part of the top sheet. you can glue it back down using epoxy

chips and what not you cant do anything about really

follow the directions for mixing the epoxy.  do it in a warm place, so that it maintains its viscosity longer.  then you just apply it to the top of the ski like its a sort of cement.  let dry, sand as desired, and if you screw up slap a sticker over it.  good as new!

wait so is the epoxy replacing the top sheet or is it connecting the peeled up stuff?

ii would not just put the epoxy over the top of the ski,

that will not stop it from peeling more.... mix the stuff like the directions say and find some thing small that you can apply the epoxy under the peeling apart of the top sheet, dont be shy, once you clamp it the extra will come out. After you clamp it you can try and put a little on the edge of the top sheet to make a seal and you can sand it down after it dries to make it level. I have done a lot of epoxy work and this is the way that i have found to be most successful.
