Replying to How can I save my favorite skis? 2 Questions about edge repair

S.C:
So somehow my favorite skis, my 2012 Rossi Sickles, are still crushing after years of use and abuse. The skis are pretty beat to shit in general, but the edges are relatively intact. Since they don't make this ski any more, I'm looking to do anything that would help with the longevity of these skis.

Two questions about edge repair:

1. I gouged out a lot of PTex along the edge a long while back, and since them have just been doing DIY ptex fills which tend to rip out after spending 10-20 days on this ski. Was just about to refill the gouge with PTex today, but I was wondering if there is any value in anchoring a screw in the one "T" that is fully exposed. The edge itself is not damaged, so this would be more about making sure it stays good in the long run.


2. I've got an edge crack directly underfoot, but the edge is still properly in place. Is there anything I can/should do about this aside from keeping it filed down so it doesn't catch on anything?



Thanks!
