New Topsheet on Used Skis

Post by kcarter »

I have a pair of DPS 112 Wailers from 2013 that I got second hand a few years ago. I try to dry them and keep the stored well, but the topsheet started peeling pretty badly. I've tried a couple times to epoxy the parts that were coming up, but it kept happening.

So I'm trying to add a completely new topsheet over the skis. I'm thinking of peeling up the old ones since they're so beat up, getting someone to print a graphic for me on a topsheet material, and then epoxying it on to my existing skis. Is this a good idea? Does the topsheet need to be heat pressed on with the rest of the layers in order to stay on with use?

Ride them as long they work and dont care for optics ;) Or build skis... Except you need something for Apres Ski to show off ;)
