Edges cracked and delaminating

Less than 10 days on my majesty vandals. My edges are cracked and delaminating on both skis. I have gotten caught on rails a few times already but that could just be me. I bought them from Sierra on sale so they aren’t on warranty. Feel free to throw any ideas on how to fix these, no matter how absurd.
yikes

neatly cut off the parts that are lifted up and fill the gap with epoxy

Could try a soldering iron if you've got one and then just some pressure to get them to seat back in place.

Clean up and let dry very well. Then knife in some warm g-flex into all the voids and clamp it tight with some 2x4 across both sides of the ski. You can use painters type to make sure you don't epoxy a wood block to your ski. Let cure fully. Then remove clamps, blocks, tape. Then scrape any base or sidewall material flush and file the edge down so it's nice and flush.

Are the edges detuned very much? I can't really tell from the photo.

Just get a hammer. Jeremy Clarkson says a hammer will fix everything

I didn’t realize Sierra items on sale didn’t have warranty? You sure about that? Regardless impact damage may not be warrantable

Detune before hitting rails if you didn't already
