2013 Radar Strada Ski Repair

[Moggie]

Hi Ballers

I pinged the handle against my ski at the weekend and chipped the side of it. It doesn’t look like much but I can suck air from the core so it needs to be sealed. I live in Australia so sending it Radar to fix isn’t practical. What do people recommend I use? I was planning to just use a resin or strong glue to seal it up.

No biggee. Use a utility knife or dremel to open up the sidewall. Use masking tape to mask off the area and top sheet. You can then use Marinetex or a similar marine rated epoxy resin to fill the void. Fill it, level it before it sets, then you can lightly sand. It will be almost invisible.

Have used this to great success on a beat up surfboard. Very very easy to use and rather immediate results. They have several products.

One note. You do not want to use the cheap 5 or 10 minute epoxy from the hardware store.

 

JB Weld or Marine- tex would be way better.

That's great, thanks for the help guys.

If you use white marine tex, it is easier to use a magic marker to closely match your ski color.

I have only seen JB in black in my area, but have bought white marine tex.
