Is it possible to fix delam without epoxy as to not void the warranty? I'm about to send them back, but I really want to ski this weekend and I don't want to destroy the core... This fix only has to last a day or less

It will if it's only for one day. If you want, put a roll of duct tape in your car just in case

you think it would be possible to get the duct tape to stick without getting it on the edges?

Yeah just to confirm do not ski those just sen them back. If the manufacturer see residue from tape ect they may void the warrenty. Just rent some skis they will for sure ski better then those anyway.

thread jacking: my volkl shiros from 2011-12 just started doing this same exact thing under the heel piece of one of my skis. it looks almost identical to the pictures posted. how should i fix this? just stick epoxy in there and clamp? volkl only has a 1 year warranty right?

just saw this again, when I saw it for the first time I thought you meant a tip/tail delam, which is much easier to fix
