I wouldn't think so. my wings on my 912's are loose but they are always like that no matter what. maybe it started from buttering.

ok, how? if your boot is locked into a fixed position in your binding, how is any material being worn down by buttering? i'm actually interested in whether or not this is possible, because i can't figure out any way this could happen, so if you want to explain it, i'm all ears.

If anything it could put excessive pressure on the actual mount/screws and if the DINs are too high, make the heel/toe more prone to ripping out.

Overall i can't see how buttering could do shit to your bindings though

Buttering really only damages the heel of your boot liner. It could rip out bindings on a shitty mount job.

okay crazyfuck, if that is your real name...... some boots do not fit 100000% perfect in your binding. so the sightest bit of movement will rub against your boot and it will wear down over time, i can show pictures of my boots, they are fucked up cuz they have been used for many moons..and remember i said "if anything it will wear down your boots"..and it would be over time, the point was that it will effect your boots before it effects your bindings..

well ur first problem is that u bought a marker binding, they have had soooooo many problems with the jesters and the dukes breaking, if you got a good solid rossi/look/dynastar or a salomon binding u wouldnt have this problem

your boots are probably owrn down becuase you walked across the parking lot in them 500 times. Your boot shouldn't move in your binding. I would say that the only way it would mess anyting up is if you had improperly mounted bindings...or if you're really fat.

Buckfutter!

Buttering won't damage bindings on it's own. It can be the cause of a binding pull-out, but that could happen on any bail too.

no. it shouldn't anyway. if you actually do some real skiing then your ski will naturally flex in a turn. almost the same as buttering to your ski, but probably even more pressure when your moving at high speed. if you properly mounted your ski with good bindings they won't rip out very often, the bindings will break first usually.

I can see salomons binding with only one screw adjustement on the toe peice getting a bit weird after pressures form butters.

I dont think it should affect other bindings with better or no side adjustement on the toe piece.

I stay away from excessive butters and tailpresses because ive broken a ski, stripped the screws on my bindings, and bent another ski. I guess all this could have happened on bad landings off cliffs, but thi thing is that i didnt really hit anything big any of those days.
