I know a lot of people use epoxy to fill screw holes or repair failing edges, but I was wondering what product people use?  I hear JB Weld is good.  Is that even considered an epoxy?
+k for help

I just use your average 2 part epoxy. Comes in a syringe and mixes upon application for filling the holes. Easiest way and can be picked up from

Most d.I.Y stores. Just get a reputable brand. *** I hate iPhones! ***

When my ski delamed I used gorilla glue. It's like a epoxy 100% water proof glue. Shuts strong as nails and the ski has been holding up good so far.

Last time I got a big topsheet chip on my K2's I used Marine Epoxy from Home Depot. Its for like boats and shit but Its pre-mixed so its just squirt and go, has held up pretty well so far.

Gorilla glue expands way too much, shouldn't be used on skis.

Just get normal epoxy, Araldite or whatever. 24 hour stuff unless you really need a fast job.

slow curing marine grade epoxy is the best imho...

it's also a bit more flexible so won't crack or break as fast as quick curing epoxy ...
+its marine grade so water/snow is no problem :)
