Baller_ Wish Posted July 8, 2011 Baller_ Share Posted July 8, 2011 What do you use?? I often read where someone has a ski that's been drilled but they have filled them. I've also heard that Goode fills them. What do they use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller Stewpro Posted July 9, 2011 Baller Share Posted July 9, 2011 After you fill the hole with the epoxy (Marine Tex is best )put a strip of electrical tape across the hole and flip the ski over so the hole is upside-down to cure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
east tx skier Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 Grab some epoxy putty at your local home improvement store. It's the easiest stuff to work with in the world. I had a crushed tail of an old CDX-1 that I fixed with the stuff just for grins. Just cut off a slice, roll it around until the color is uniform (2 parts mixed) and push it into the hole. It cures in 5 minutes, even underwater. Sand it smooth and you're good to go. Before finding this wonderful stuff, I used to just cram some plumbers putty in the holes. Not as permanent, but pretty water resistant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller Razorskier1 Posted July 10, 2011 Baller Share Posted July 10, 2011 that epoxy putty is really good stuff. I have an old EP that I use as a barefoot step ski. About 15 years ago I stepped off and footed one way, then the driver said I should deep up and he would pull me back to the ski. The tail of the ski, behind the rear toe, got hit by the outboard skeg. Nearly sheared it off. Got some putty, put it in and cured it. I still have that old EP today, and it works just fine for what it gets used for! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller JackQ Posted July 10, 2011 Baller Share Posted July 10, 2011 If you are just trying to seal the hole, use a candle trip wax in the hole. Let it harden then use a razor blade to cut flush with ski top. Works great, and is fast. I have been using for 20+ years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
