Blown rear edge advice

[tang]

Question for the group, since I know the shop answer (have us fix it!). The rear edge on my old 4frnt ehp's popped out, probably 1.5" or so, and split open a bit. (See pic.) These still ski great, but are pretty old - so not inclined to spend $50-100 to have them shop-fixed. Simpler to just dremel it off and fill with some epoxy? To keep it from pulling out or separating more. Better recommendation?
Thanks in advance! S

Yeah, I got stuck with this username when resurrecting my account. Tried changing it. Created more problems. I'm a jong, at best... so m104da it is!
FWIW, I did search around a bit, but my question was more around just cutting off the edge since just the last 1.5" at the tail, and then filling in the gap, given old skis - good idea or stupid? So kinda different from what I saw.
Anyway, thoughts appreciated. Thx, S

there are for sure blown edge repair threads, but search sucks...try from google I bet TGR comes up near the top..

Maybe search threads from username "Tuco", he has done some good repair tutorials.

Saw it off, fill with a bunch of epoxy, sand flush, stay in the front seat and only ski good snow.

Or you could probably get some epoxy in there and clamp the edge back in place while it sets. Still stay forward and only ski deep snow probably.

Yeah front seat is a good point! Hmmm, maybe best to go the full repair vs cut-it-off route. Thx! S

The location and length of the edge separation makes it ideal for a home repair. There is a good blown edge repair thread or two here. If the repair doesn't hold you can always cut the edge and fill the gap with epoxy.

Use slow set epoxy not the 5 Min shit

Use that ski so the repaired tail will always be on an outside edge

Flip the 1st 2 and yeah, basically.

OP. Before proceeding I would check entire edge/base for delams.
Kinda like these EHP's

Bag it and tag it.

Sell it to the butcher at the gear swap.
