What to do about delam

The tail on my thrusters delammed.  Salomon won't warranty them (even though they are within the warranty period).

What do you guys do?  Just generous amounts of glue clamp that shit together and hope it'll hold?

With a hole drilled you can pop rivet them, Seen it done, seems to work pretty well. Good luck and have fun!

throw in some rivets or you can try marine grade epoxy and some c-clamps

Accodring to Salomon, "Tail was slammed down into the ground numerous times and this is obviously what cause delam, no defect whatsoever."

Nope haven't been slamming my skis into the ground lately, your shitty ass product fell apart on me you fucking shithead.

when my invaders delamed about a million times (never buy invaders/anthems if you ski hard) i cut out the edges around the delam and epoxied them back together and clamped them for a day. then i drilled 4 holes in the tips and bolted them together. it'll work until you can afford to get new skis.

I ran through the same problems with the original enemies.  I went through about 3 pairs, and used duct tape to hold the tips together until the new skis got to me.  It worked for the most part.  I still have a pair with ducttape on the tips, they are my house skis.

Just clamp it back together with some really slow cure epoxy, and do a rivet or two if you can.  They'll ski fine if you did the repair well and the ski didn't get damaged while it was delamed.

seriously? fuck them. get back on the phone and argue with them. say straight up i haven't abused these what so ever. they delamed and i want new skis. if you dont send me new skis. if you wont give me new skis then your calling me a liar, and i will most definitely not rep you guys around my hill. i horrified that such a reputable company could have such bad warranty service.

get on it, call them right now
