^ clamp w/ block and let sit for a while

the rivets do a lot to prevent worse damage. just make sure the edge tearouts don't go past the rivets.

yeah i know it needs epoxy, I was just wondering if anyone knew what brands work best. Also i did talk to my shop and they said they couldn't help me without making it worse.

"Can you guys help me?"

"Why yes, yes we could. But we will only make it worse"

I've found that the k2's 2 rivet system does this with all their skis eventually especially for park, I think they need to start putting 3 in instead of just two.

Your best and easiest bet is to epoxy but if you want a bomb proof solution just put another rivet in the middle or get a nut and rounded bolt. drill a hole while the tip is clamped to ensure the whole is straight place some epoxy between the base and top sheet as well as a little on the bolt threads, place the bolt in the whole from the base up and tighten the bolt nut fairly tight then let sit to try and cut off the access bolt and make the edges smooth with a file so you don't slice yourself on nose grabs and what not.

Heres a pic of how they look when I did it to my Ninthwards they hold up better then any rivet and it's bombproof!
