Neil’s clearly been enjoying his backcountry skiing. His K2s were full of gouges but this one caught my eye – through the P-tex, through the fibreglass and down to the metal:
You can also see an existing repair along the edge. Anyway the gouge had to be opened up, metal-grip applied in the bottom of the gouge then topped off with P-tex to get it slick. The bases needed a complete re-structure with the SkiVisions tools to blend all the repairs in and give the wax something to grip on.
Edges are (I suspect) stainless as they were rust-free but battered to hell. They took ages to get sharp again but they finally capitulated.
Here they are awaiting waxing with the rest of that day’s batch:
And there they are awaiting collection once they’re finished. Not many photos this time, too many skis to process.
