While at Mount Snow yesterday, the tip of one of my buddie's salomon screams came apart. I'm planning on using epoxy and possibly putting a rivet or two to hold it shut. A few questions:

1) Is riveting a good idea or a bad idea?

2) If I do rivet, should I do it after the epoxy dries or while it's setting in a clamp?

3) Are there tips to buy to ad to his skis to prevent this from happening again?

4) Any better suggestions?
