Or G/Flex

I've used that to fix a delam and it's absolutely bomber. I bet if you dipped your ski tips the rest of your ski would fail before the tips do.

Have a gentleman who brings his skis into my shop on the regular that wraps his tips with heavy-duty rubber fuel line, after splitting it in half long-ways. Seems bulky, but also seems effective, if that's what you're going for. Will try and get a photo next time he comes in.

I feel like this edit should change your mind about both buttering and park skiing

For our demo skis we put tail caps on them to protect from jerries in lift lines, they're like 8 euro from a diy ski build supplier, see if you can find one in your region.

caps made from a tin can would be pretty easy though with some snips: cout out a section as thick as the ski tip with some wings either side of the tip curve top and bottom to fold over that you through rivet onto the ski.
