I bought a pair of 2009 dumonts on NS used lightly last fall.
I skiied them a bunch but after a trip to Killington, I get back home and realize that one of the tips delaminated. The company wont warranty them and I dont know what to do about it. I am begging for some idea, possibly riveting, but the skis didnt cost me that much so i dont want to pay that much to fix them. anyone know how to solve this.
HELP IS APPRECIATED

If you can rivet them yourself go for it. Those look like rivets would fix them though.

Seal the gap with epoxy right before the rivet goes in, you want all that to close up as best as possible.

I have learned this lesson haha I'm probably going to epoxy it and clamp it for a while then try to rivet it

Same thing happened to my cousins Salomon Foils (shitty ski) and he took them in and all they did was put a lil epoxy in between, then riveted it up. It was ridin like normal after that.

no problem at all, had that happen to my scott p4s and to my movement joysticks

i used bolts because rivets tend to pull through the different layers instead of pull them together

3 small bolts are what i'd go for, and ofcourse first epoxy inside, then put the bolts through ...

good luck, i'm sure you'll be ok :)

^^on my p4s i even just used TEC7, basically super strong silicone glue and it worked fine, but epoxy is probably the better bet :)

If you really don't want to pay much for repairs and the skis didnt cost you a ton you might even want to consider just putting a screw thru it with a small nut on the other side and grinding it down a little.
