I am not sure P-Tex will help in my case:

I had a very similar gouge in Flaine on a brand new pair of skis. I took
them to a small shop just along from the bottom of the acensuers right
on the edge of the nursery slopes. They used a die to cut out a very
precise amount of base material so they could glue in a new piece of
exactly the same size (but different colour) base material. The repair
looked the dogs and lasted for the life of the skis. Every time I had
them serviced comments were made about how good the repair was.

That'll be Flaine Super Ski then http://www.flainesuperski.com/ as
recommended by me up there ^^^. Glad their reputation continues.

They used a die to cut out a very

Well, to be fair, I'd be even more impressed if future service droids
couldn't even notice that a repair had been made, but maybe it was
just a colour-matching thing. In any case, it's clear from this, and
other comments, that glueing a new bit of base material seems to be
the way to go, contrary to my earlier comments, so I'll go with the
flow.
