Tonight I had a hockey game and took a slap shot off the front of my skate, when I took off my skate I noticed that there was a chip missing in the front of the skate alittle bit in front of the tuuks. The chip I don't think affects the skate at all but is there something that I should do to it to prevent it from chipping more?

Whats the best type of epoxy to use on a skate and what do you do just mold it to the chipped area?

You're not going to get much of anything to adhere to the plastic holder. All I'd do is just smooth the edges of the nick to ensure it won't crack from there. And if it's big enough I'd be ordering a spare holder to have on hand. ;)

The chips actually not on the holder its in front of it on the sole. I wish it was on the holder it would be an easier fix haha.

Mod podge is a good epoxy, uh also just hirt glue or rubber cement would be good and yeah just layer it into the chipped area and a little more over to the sides up and above it just to fully cover it And then sharpie it whatever color your skates are so it doesn't show up so easily
