Can you put bindings back on skis?

[derek.urben]

I took off my bindings from my k2 press and they were already drilled twice on that skis. I now want to put then back on could I put the screws back in the same holes or would they tear out when I'm skiing

 

[Blake.P]

If the holes are fine and not stripped, yes (use a bit of wood glue too). If they are stripped, take them to a shop which will helicoil them using the same old holes

would epoxy work? or will that just hold it too well

 

[NinetyFour]

Epoxy will work perfectly. I'd say it's preferred over wood glue if available.

 

[tomPietrowski]

Don't use export if you plan to remove the bindings again. Epoxy destroys the holes when you take the screws out. Wood glue is your best bet.

 

[derek.urben]

well my choices on hand are epoxy, gorilla glue, and wood glue.

 

[tomPietrowski]

Wood glue then

 

[derek.urben]

isn't gorilla glue stronger, and will bond better with the screws?

 

[Blake.P]

Gorilla glue expands when it dries, so that is by far the worst option. The problem with epoxy is that it bonds to the core too well, that if you ever tried to take the screws out again, it would damage the core. Wood glue will hold it enough, but not damage the skis

 

[tomPietrowski]

The skis are made if wood, but more importantly your not gluing the screws in. Your using glue to seal the holes. Wood glue works for this but also allows the screw to be removed without damaging the wood core.

 

[HamFaceGirl]

just epoxy that bullshit and you'll be fine

 

[VD.]

Wood glue and some steel wool for extra bite, and you should be good.

 

[derek.urben]

if I don't care about using the skis again can I epoxy them?

 

[tomPietrowski]

Well you could but why would you. Wood glue will work fine.

 

[robotdna]

Just use wood glue. Epoxy is overkill.

binding freedom inserts is another option and thne you can take bindings on and off at will
