I would have no problem with a rivet. Just look at alot of the twin tips out there that have rivits. |
Polyepoxide resin can react and deteriorate the foam used in some foam core skis.
You should be safe using polyester or vinylester (the former is cheaper) resin. Polyester resin is much cheaper than epoxy as well. If the mating surfaces are rough enough and are material that these types of thermosetting plastics will bond with, and the resin cures properly and completely, then the repair will be stronger than a rivet and mechanical reinforcement should not necessary.
