buy new skis

or rivet it, basically once a ski delams there is no gluing it back together.

go to a hardware store, buy some epoxy. use as much as you need on the tip of your ski. put a bunch of clamps on it and let it sit for a few days somewhere that doesn't too cold

epoxy and rivets
your skiing is dying, but you can get some life out of it still

I used JB weld and clamps after my front tips split open on a backflip. It seemed to do the trick.hope this helps

24 hour epoxy and t-nuts. These delammed 6 inches at the tip the first week I had them, then went on to ski about 150 days more.

good old ducttape my friend.
have a buddy hold the ski together while you taper up.
waterproof too!
