Hey ns, I managed to compress the nose of my ski and start to separate the base from the ski. Any suggestions on how to fix it? I was thinking of just using epoxy and clamps.

ps sorry about the shitty quality, my phone is garbage.

Could try taking it to a shops to see if they could clip it together with rivets

DIY would be preferred because I'm broke

Marine epoxy and the strongest clamps you can get are probably the best DIY solution. You could also rivet if you have a drill and don’t mind taking a quick trip to Home Depot, but that area of the ski isn’t really in contact with the snow so epoxy should be fine.

Yea, no big deal tbh. Happened to multiple pairs of my skis when doing front flips and then smashing my tails into the ground lol

clamps and marine epoxy are your best friend
