Best EPOXY to use to mount bindings???

[SquawMan]

I'm mounting FKS bindings onto Mantras and want to use eopxy instead of wood glue to prevent pullouts of the heel (I know, I know, there haven't been too many pull-outs of race bindings, only a few, but I just want to be safe)

any of the tech's out there know which type/brand is best or is any 5 minute epoxy fine?

(p.s. just about every single skier at IcerAir in SF, except Moseley, was on Rossi racestocks)

I'm sure most basic epoxies will work fine.

But if you want to be picky...

THAT IS THE STUPIDEST FUCKING IDEA I HAVE EVER HEARD.

Yeah, that's what my shop did when I ripped my heel out. Heli coil is the way to go.

i always used wood glue. epoxy just sounds like a harsh application.

JB WELD is the best epoxy out there, i did that to mine after i ripped them out and it worked fine

use the type of epoxy that they use when you go into the shop and tell them to mount your skis

off topic but how do you take bindings off of skis I need to take my p10s off to get them warrentied. Any help?

 

[BigJew]

Take a drill and unscrew them?

 

[skimasterflex]

Heli coil is only a good solution after a pullout, otherwise we'd all heli coil all our skis for two mounting points. Heli coil is less structurally solid than the initial setting of the screw if properly drilled and inserted. If your skis have a metal layer like the Mantras do, than Tap the holes first thats why heels come out somtimes is someone forced your screws through the metal layer without tapping.

do ski shops even use epoxy? i thought they screwed right in. how are you supposed to take the bindings off?
