WEll first of all I'd like to say they ski nicely and stuff and Im not sayign this is the skis fault aha. ANyways, tonight I was skiing and I didnt hit one rock or anything all I did was rails and i got a core shot somehow at some point during the night, but I think one of the rails were at fault. But yes, do core shots need to be fileed? Its not too big, the gash itself is probably around 2 inches and the part where core is showing is like a half inch diameter circle type thiing. SHoudl I fill it with ptex or something? And how? ANd stuff///

head to your shop and buy a stick of ptex. Use a lighter or a candle to melt it and drip it into the hole, but be careful not to overheat it or it'll burn. Then after it's cooled off use that metal scrapper you coincidentaly bought at the shop at the same time to scrape of the excess ptex. Wax your skis. Watch the ptex fall right out two weeks later.

Repeat process untill you get frustrated and take em into your shop for a base weld. (More expensive, but definately worth it on big gashes)

falling out every two weeks is no big deal. I can re p-tex every time I wax.

and for an at home fix id just put some epoxy in the gouge, rough the surface of the epoxy up a but then cover with ptex, and scrape like a normal filling.

when you scrape off the ptex make sure its cooled down to room temperature or so if you want to wait that long. Then when you scrape it, scrape it in an easy, choppy motion or else the ptex might fall out while you're scraping it.

good advice as said above, p-tex it yourself, it might not fall out, if it does just fill it again, you'll just get better at it...lol

Just get the thing repaired at a good shop. Way less hassle than re-ptex'ing every few weeks. Ptex is great for smaller gashes but core shots are another thing all together. Just imagine the water getting into your core and degrading it.

cut it and score it so it will hold, I cut a lip around the surface so the core overlaps the ptex and it cant just fall out, it can still fall apart, but not out.
I recommend jb weld underneath if the core or edge is showing a lot, if not then just plain ptex is the best but prep it good and it will hold.
