maybe lol? it's gunna be kinda tricky to get the epoxy in there but yeah. don't take my word for this but i don't think you can do much more damage to the ski. just make sure the epoxy is safe for wood and fiberglass and metal.

I'm also interested in this my K2 Extreme's top sheet has some chips in it that are getting big would the marine epoxy work on the top sheet at all or should I just use regular epoxy?

If it is topsheet chipping then you shouldn't have to do anything.  Unless it is too the wood, it should be fine.  The fiberglass is there.

When I got some to the core on my invaders, I used gorilla glue.  Basically anything will work.

Best is to use crystal clear slow cure two part epoxy, you can get it at most automotive stores, hardware stores, and kmart.

Regular epoxy will just chip again and crack when the ski is flexed. Get this stuff:

2 days ago i took a preety big chunk out of my skis topsheet. it looked like it could peel up and spread easily, possibly delam. that day i took them to the shop on the mountain. 2 days later i went up to pick them up. they were perfect (besides part of the graphic missing), you couldnt tell a difference between epoxy and regular edge.

take them to a shop
