Hello,

I’m going to try and fix this delamination of my Bent chetlers, can you recommend how to or do you Think they are toast?

I bought some epodex / epoxy and hardener, which my plan is to pry in and heat. Then clamp it together for a few days.

Those who tried it before do you have any suggestions?

Thanks!

It could, but I think one butter or backseat landing would blow it out again.

Skip the edge part, read the replacement. Your local ski shop should have the base material for cheap if you want to do it the "right way".

If you want to keep it simple, grab a toothpick and some compressed air and clean out everything you can from under the base material, throw some epoxy under there and maneuver epoxy with the toothpick, then clamp it down with something flat like a 2x4. Scrap it flat and ride away
