Hey Lou, i didn’t know where to post this so here it is:
Have you heard of reactivating skin glue before resorting to a complete reglue?
Here’s a link. check out Rick Liu’s (from Climbing Skins Direct) comments under “Restoring the Stickiness.” Basically running a hot iron over the glue.

Johann, indeed, we will see. Everyone should have a chance to improve their products.

very bad reception from customers of this product in the last season, in different german speaking moutaineering forums. Also the price is 30 above the most widespread skins. mabe that change that season, we will see.

Charlie, that’s the whole idea of these things, they don’t easily pick up dirt, and if they do they’re easy to clean. They’d perhaps be the better rental skin, for example.

Any word on how they hold up to pine needles, pollen, dirt, pumice, and occasional rock climbing? Any glue that doesn’t irreversibly pick up dirt is better glue. Cold and warm/wet weather performance?
