Edge Ripping Out

I noticed a couple weeks ago that at one of my edge cracks the edge was starting to pull out a little. I filled the around it with epoxy, and filed the edge down to even it out.
Yesterday I noticed it started to really come out. I used the handle of my pole to pound it back in, but that only kept it in for a run or two.
Are there any suggestions on how to fix it?
I was thinking that I would put a bunch of epoxy in the ski and clamp the edge down.

On filthies too, fuck!

I would epoxy and clamp and that should hold for a while, really hoping the edge cracks on mine amount to nothing!

If you can manage to get epoxy underneath it that is your best option, just make sure you use one rated for cold temps so you dont get swelling. The shitty part is that most epoxy would not be easy to get into a gap that small, as youll really want to get it as deep into the ski as you can before clamping it. The other thing youll want to do once you get it back in there is to really file the shit out of the gap so there is nothing that could possibly catch on anything. You want to reduce the risk of hanging that piece up on a rail or rock and ripping it from the ski. Whenever I see an edge crack appear I pretty much just round the edge off where the crack is.
