Repairing a delaminated ski?

Anyone here have tips on repairing a delaminated ski, the tail of one of my skis randomly delammed today and I'm wondering if I should epoxy, or rivet it, or a combination - or if anyone has another other suggestions or advice on repairing a delaminated ski.  Only a few inches of the topsheet has seperated from the core so far, but I feel like the problem could get much worse if I don't fix my skis fast.

Input is thanks!

put a good epoxy between the two layers then clamp the shit out of it for a few days. You should probably rivet it just in case

make sure the core and bases and all dried out before you put the epoxy in. it will work 10x better.

i would just epoxy it and see how it goes, if it delams again just rivit it

New skis! Don't fing touch them....leave them be, there good for warranty, most likely.

Wait to contact the shop, and if they don't help you wait to contact the manufacturer....if you mess with them, well good luck getting anything for them.

Remember these companies want to earn your return buisness, always push them a little to get what your think you deserve...
