Epoxy tips

Call/email ON3P, they'll likely offer to repair them or guide you in the right direction to do it yourself.

Epoxy and clamp it in a warm area and let it sit for a few days. Epoxy takes a few days to fully cure at room temp.

What type of epoxy are you using? Some ski shops sell 24 hour shit that works well for serious structural repairs. You may have to cut that edge and re glue it there.

Honestly i dont think epoxy is gonna do the trick. Works wonders for topsheet chips but this might be a bit too heavy duty for it

if It pulls far enough out bend it up over your topsheet, works well. Or just cut it and epoxy the gap.

^cutting and epoxying the gap is the best bet imo
not a shop tec but (seeing as its not gear talk) it worked for me pretty well. Make sure to grind down the edge well if you cut

Dont get ON3P, I've seen this happen to almost everyone that I know that has them. Hate as much as you want

^ OP - reach out to us direct - we're happy to help - either with a repair or replacement. Doesn't look like order was through us directly, so don't have your contact info to give you a call.

The issue here is that the surface prep on the edge is now rusted. Really hard to bond once rusted. If we were to try and rebond, we'd pull the edge out as much as we can cleanly, sandblast, and reassemble. Depending on the length, though, might be easier just to fill. A bit hard to tell without the skis in front of me.

Anecdotal data is fine, no reason to hate on that. If you friends need assistance, we're easy to reach.

We also know it is cool to hate on us, so we're pretty used to it now. That said, we build thousands of pairs per year. We have to warranty a handful per season. Skiing, particularly park skiing, is hard on any product. Kids lapping rails all season on rope tows at Hyland are about as hard on skis as anyone out there, so if anyone anywhere is gonna have edge issues, it is you guys (and I say that with respect).

For what it is worth, we have less than ten warranty claims (any customer contact related to an issue, regardless if issue is one covered by warranty) out of the state of MN in the past decade (and yes, we track all this data).

Left it for 3 days (inside) one of the times, didn't work. Probably not going to be able to do it with epoxy

It's not major damage. It's only about 2 in at the most, you can see almost all of it in the pic. I'm not complaining or looking for a replacement, just trying to figure out how to fix it. This is the second year I've had them, and they're holding up quite well. If epoxy won't hold it sounds like it would be best to just cut it out and fill it (unless there's some danger to missing 2 in of edge that I don't know about). I won't lose any effective edge. Just hacksaw it below the pullout and file the end down as much as I can, then fill the gap with epoxy?

Definitely get where you are coming from. It is better caught sooner than later while the length is minimal. Fix wise, we're happy to provide directions (just email us and we'll send you it there), but also just as happy to pay to have the skis shipped back to us so I can personally review and repair them, at the very least. Fixing them is certainly possible on your end, but we also have the tools and experience to do that here, plus refinish and shape the skis so they are well finishing going back out.

Given that it is shorter in length, it is possible to sandblast the edge and reinstall it, but it might be easier to cut and seal as you suggest. On our end, we can do that with a base patch too, which is going to be more solid than just epoxy, depending on the length.

If you want us to help out on the repair end, just email info@on3pskis.com and we'll get you a return label. You just need to box skis and drop off at any FedEx. Repairs are free and we cover the shipping back. 1 day travel to/from Bend, so should be something we could get in and out quickly.

Just let us know.

ON3P literally builds the most beefy ski out there and this happens on all skis. And it’s the least of your problems anyway so why whine about it??

So beefy I hit my thumb on it the other day and tore the ligament

Shush Hayden my magnuses haven’t even started delaminating on the other ski

I use clear gorilla glue for edges that have pull out or cracked and delams. It maybe that when the epoxy gets cold it might get brittle and crack out. The clear gorilla glue holds good and when it drys it has little give to it so it doesn't crack.

Wow. Every time (which is often) I see posts like this, it blows me away. Such a commitment to customer service. Absolutely unreal.
