Title said it all, the first pic is of the sidewall, and the second is a little gash in the base right underneath the boot (0.5cm in length)

To epoxy or not to epoxy
Those arent rly so bad just keep shredding and stop worrying about those little marks.
So my answer is no epox

I'd epoxy the sidewall just to avoid getting water in the core. Maybe a bit of ptex on the base gash if you want too.

If im still riding on it (I’m leaving for a trip in a couple days so not really enough time for a shop to do it for me) is it a big problem if I would wait after riding for these next four days before getting em filled up?

I have some marine epoxy that I could use on it but the only problem is waxing the base over after applying the epoxy because I used up the rest of my wax right before the start of the season

You'll probably be fine. And don't use epoxy on the base use ptex.

Thanks man 👍🏼 This is probably a stupid question but why not epoxy on the base?

ptex is base material and can accept wax, epoxy cannot
The base is made of ptex, if you used epoxy idk how well it would bond and it most likely would not hold wax.

Since the in the base is less than 0.5cm and I’m not going to be doing any rail just jumps then I think I’ll just ski in them as they are for these next four days and get it filled later if I notice it getting bigger/worse that you y’all think? Greatly appreciate the help guys.
Make sure you let that shit adequately dry out before epoxying it, since you said you're still riding it.
All times are Eastern (-4)
