first off, yes, i searchbarred and i only found suggestions on the use of epoxy, but i was wondering if anyone could come up with something else. i don't necessarily care about fixing the topsheets so much as making the damage look easier on the eye.

ideas... go!

Epoxy or new skis. Your choice.

Just toss some clear epoxy into the hole. Or you could try with clear p-tex, like you would fix your bases? I don't know how well that would stick.

Or put a particular sticker over it. Guess which one I'm talking about, ya fairy.

^ i tried clear p-tex but when i melt it on it is too thin to accumulate quickly. these are rental skis at the ski shop i work at and i'm just trying to make them look like they aren't so destroyed. i fucked 'em up pretty good-like and none of the gapers want to rent them...

Make a wine rack with them, a gaper might buy that.

i agree topsheets are not functionally necessary aside from keeping out moisture, but gapers want "pretty" and "cool" looking skis

Gorilla Glue

Put it under the topsheet and then clamp your ski between 2 pieces of two by four.  Let it set for 24 hours and then unclamp and remove the pieces of wood.  Use a razor blade to remove all the excess/drips. And dont forget to use the glue sparingly, Gorilla Glue expands into a foam so a little goes a long way.

Rowen, was that necessary? I'm rather surprised nobody's called "REPAUST!!1" on this yet.
