not a direct answer to your question, but we've got laser cutters at school for building models that im sure could be used to etch the topsheet. there are multiple settings like cut or just score, etc. however, i dont think etching would be that noticeable unless it was a huge font and was painted. let us know if you get it done tho, could be cool.

no shop will do that, because it voids the warranty on the ski.

just engrave your skis serial number into your arm, so if someone steals it, you can find them and prove they're yours

the base would probably work you just have to make sure you engrave it really deep

theres no good spot to engrave them
i have a friend whose skis were stolen and he had his name engraved on the binding and written with sharpie on the ski and we found the guy that stole them skiing at the same hill he stole them from  and he changed the bindings and colored over the sharpie and since mt friend has know way of proving they are his (since he bought them used) we get to watch that asshole ski with them.

We have a really old ski engraver at my shop.  Things old as hell and i wouldnt do it to my skis.  Its designed for super old straight skis with super thick topsheets.

If you do it, seal it with caulk...it'll also make it more obvious to see on most skis, and may act as a theft deterrent.

Sack up, tell his parents, and have them deal with it.

Seems to me like you're just making excuses.

Do this.
But only if you are 100% sure they are the same skis.

Just use a xacto knife and cut your name into the base.. Really big... After you cut it remove the chunks from the base and sand your bases. Then take paint and paint over them. Once your done with that just take some old candles and wax em up. works real good.
