Need some help with post press
I removed my heat sheet only to see one ski much higher than the other, and my heart sunk. I removed everything flipped them over and found this.
The core somehow popped on top on the wooden peg it wasnt like that when it started to press. Is there anyway to fix this or did I just spend 3 months wasting my time?

Sorry about the heat sheet term, it is just a heated blanket attached to a camping pad it holds heat really well.
Anyway back to the skis. The base is clear the orange stuff is vinyl I used to keep the bases clean. I did a rush job removing it just to see what happened, and I cant really tell what made it happen. There isnt a core shift side to side it just lifted up.

Weird one, maybe epoxy hydraulic-ed your post down.
As far as repairing it, what about a forstner bit, drill out the spot and glue in a base patch. Just drill it level with the inside of the base.

You don't even have a legit signature, nothing to reveal who you are and what you do...
Best of luck to you. (uneva)

I'm just cut a hole in the base where the epoxy filled in the void cause by the peg. I'm going to sand away the epoxy then put a little fiberglass down in the hole a little epoxy and all I have left is tip spacer so I will be using that instead of the normal base. Unless anyone has some scrap base they don't mind parting with less than 6"x6".

I'm vacuum bagging and it is sticking up a good 10mm. I already started to cut the base away and it looks like some how the peg was forced down and the core came up, but all around it the base is complete flat.
Thing is to put the pegs in the holes in the core I have to push down pretty hard I always make sure that there is no movement and that something like this doesnt happen.
I have used pegs before and this is a first for sure.
I'm just treating this like a big core shot, just going to sand it down and patch it up.

Dowel pin not sanded down flush with core?
