It sticks to some kinds of plastic, but doesn't have much grab on things like nylon, so it's perhaps of limited effectiveness when used to do things like placing aftermarket inserts in Dynafit factory inserts. Nonetheless, it seems like a good idea to use it instead of regular epoxy. Not a big deal. Lou Sandy, at hardware stores they sell “plastic epoxy” of different brands.

What kind of plastic are we talking about- PVC, ABS, polycarbonate? Thanks again Sandy Lou, do you have a product in mind when you say to use a “plastic enabled epoxy”?

Thanks again

Thus, if it's just a plain old hole in the ski, that you want to fill, just use JB quick or 1-hour epoxy. Don't use regular JB Weld, as it takes a long time to cure and while curing could attack some ski resins and such. Above simply my opinion, nothing to obsess on. I've actually filled ski holes with just about everything from Gorilla Glue to tooth paste, and only had problems with the tooth paste.

Would this type of epoxy be less than ideal for use on other skis?
