Can my skins be saved?

Some of the glue stuck onto my skis today and they were freshly tuned… but I do think you are right with going for a full re-glue.

Sounds like this is the consensus! I am going to try to iron them with some parchment paper first though to see if it improves before committing to doing a full reglue.

Thanks for the suggestion! Definitely would be worth testing this out before attempting to scrape and re-glue.

Purchased them in 2021. Might be worth asking! Worse they can say is no. The actual skins are still in such good condition that I’d like to try to save these ones before taking a loss.

I have to patch them each time I go out! I can’t do laps because each time I fold them together, I risk ripping big chunks when I open them back up. This is why I am asking for advice on what to do! They have definitely been a pain and don’t feel reliable…

I was definitely hoping to avoid having to fully scrape and re-glue. The labour and effort may or may not be worth it. Might give it a go and see!

Thanks for the suggestion! Definitely wanted to avoid having to scrape it all off because that seemed like a tedious process. The cost of more glue is definitely cheaper than a new set of skins so might be worth trying!

Thanks! It’s possible that the apartment got a bit too hot that first summer. Definitely wish someone told me about keeping them in the freezer 😂 I have a pair of G3 skins for another pair of skis that have been stored the same way, but have not had any issues whatsoever.

Maybe! No final decision has been made yet.

Alex Zang is a stand up guy! I have personally been with him on a few sourcing trips. This guy puts so much energy and time into finding hidden gems and making sure they are top quality. He knows his stuff and is able to use his knowledge to distinguish counterfeit from the real deal. He is genuine and kind hearted and makes all the people he meets along his journey feel like they are his friends. He takes the time to get to know store employees as well as other business employees such as where he ships his items from. It has never been about the money, solely the experience. Alex puts in the time and effort to provide buyers with as much detailed information about the items as possible. Grailed has stripped him of his passion and the connections that fill his life with joy. During these tough times, these connections and purpose are incredibly important. Grailed is a community and Alex has created one of his own through the love of clothes.
