Is it better to use red loctite (threadlocker) to pour in the drilled mounting holes for your bindings?

Wood Glue. Do not use loctite. The glue is more to seal the hole from water penetration and ensure tight fitment between the metal threads and wood core. Since wood glue doesn't bond very well to metal it allows for the screws to be removed with minimal damage to the holes.

Cool. Does the wood glue also hold the screw in place better so it doesnt unscrew itself over time?

Just cum in the holes dolan, that should keep the screws in there

i havent fapped in years. One of the perks of opioids like methadone is that you dont give a shit about pussy and you have no sexual needs. Its funny how girls minds work. Theres nothing that will make a girl want you more than if you completely ignore them. I catch girls giving me the stiff one-eye all the time, and when our eyes meet they immediately fold and adopt an ashamed/defeated look, because they read in my facial expression that i couldnt care less about getting in their pants. Its based on subconscious assessment of a suitors genetic fitness. if a guy acts like hes desperate to shag you he probably has shit genes, and if a guy pays you no mind he probably has good genes.

anyways paul, ill need to borrow some of your spooge from your incel masturbation session to put in the screw holes, because my epididymus is in a coma.

Truth. Killed my sex drive for two years after I quit and I wasn’t on any crutches. It sucked. I was starting to think something was seriously wrong. Six years out now... all better, fap king!

Sounds like a fun way to live. Dm me your address and Ill send over one of my jars

I'm just going to ignore what happened above there ^

DolanReloadedCool. Does the wood glue also hold the screw in place better so it doesnt unscrew itself over time?

The wood glue goes some way to grip the screw but realistically its the mechanical grip of the screw threads in the wood is the main connection to the ski, which is why some skis tear out easier than others. if you put a screw into a cheese for a wood you're gonna have problems no matter the glue.

Some others swear by using epoxy to do their bindings screws, the problem with this is the strength of the epoxy bond between the wood and screw is stronger than the bond in the wood fibres and so in a pull out, the screw pulls more wood with it than with wood glue, making a bigger hole, making a helicoil remount more difficult/less reliable.

Best bet to reduce chance of pull outs is to buy skis with decent hardwoods, like Ash (thats what we use) and get them mounted up (preferrably by a reputable shop, that way theyre liable for the quality of the mount) with PVA wood glue and if you get a screw that spins without gripping, get the hole helicoiled.

Interesting. I totally prefer having no sex drive though. An orgasm is such a half ass, short duration high anyways. When i used to fap, afterwords i would always feel like i just wasted an hour of my life to achieve absolutely nothing.

Also, how often does it happen for mounting screws to unscrew themselves? Like is it necessary to check your mounting screw with a screwdriver after each season to make sure the screws havent loosened at all? Or is it too rare to worry about?

a good mount should just about be get and forget. There is very little twisting action on the screws, only really pull, so they shouldn’t unscrew themselves. Any checking should be visual only. If the screw isn’t sitting right, either straight after the mount, or at the end of the season take it to get checked by a technician.



if done right, the screws shouldn’t move at all. You don’t want to start tightening them ever, because if they’ve been mounted with the correct depth hole, the screw’s tightest should be at the bottom of the hole and any tightening will just lead to breaking the thread in the wood as the screw is flat bottomed and it will just spin in the bottom of the hole, not dig in further.

Also any major turning of the screw will crack the wood glue, giving a route for water to get in, freeze, make the crack bigger, and repeat until it eventually rots your core.

Whats to stop you from overtightening the screws the first time you put them in the holes? I watched a video and the guy uses a battery powered drill to do both the hole drilling and screwing in the screws. Does he have an adjustable torque setting on the drill or does he just drill until the screw hits the bottom and the drills max torque isnt enough to screw the screw in any deeper?

not much. All it takes is an overzealous technician or one that’s mis adjusted the drill to overtighten the screws and that’s why getting mounts at a reputable shop is important.



Most decent techs will have the drill/electric screwdriver set to a low ish torque to do the donkey work of driving the screws in and then finish to hand tight with a screwdriver, as it should be. Some like the forearm workout and will do it all by hand.

Yeah i would never go to a shop that didnt know what they were doing. I would worry about overdoing hand tightening goo though. Ive stripped more screws than i can count by overtightening by hand.
