I have a combo pair of Puritan Orion RM 50 water skis. During a recent ski outing, the sheet metal (aluminum) top curled (pealed) back from the the fiberglass ski up to the toe of the boot. Is there a repair for this? Any recommended Adhesive? Does Puritan have a customer service number?

That sounds like a set of 20+ year old skis from a manufacturer who isn't around any more. If it were me I'd spend the $70 and buy some new ones. I guess you could try some waterproof contact adhesive (that is ok for fiberglass) and a bunch of clamps.

I tried re-attaching the top of my old EP GX3 turboglass -- a good ole friend who I spent many hours on.

First run, the top came off again.

So RIP EP RIP
