Well, theres a couple of questions about this. I'd really like to see the ski in person before telling you what to do... but theres a couple things I'll say.

You need epoxy, not glue. Epoxy is much better of an adhesive. Then I'd need to know how deep of a cut you made, and some better pictures.

If its just a ding on the base, ptex it and make sure to rotate the ptex so it doesn't burn. Clean out the base and make sure theres no dirt, etc. in it before doing it. If its a core shot, you'll need a ptex gun to fill it in, and I doubt you have that.

Try to get them replaced on warranty.

Your edges will blow out any time now.

that's rail damage (ie self inflicted) so it's more than likely not going to be taken care of on warranty.
