The black plug material that shops use. I just pulled those plugs out of some skis and reused the holes. I want to sell some other skis but remove the binding first and be able to plug the holes using that same stuff. Wondering what it is.

Check out Tognar or other companies /shops that sell a lot of tuning gear. They're little rubbery plastic tapered plugs about 1cm long. You epoxy them in and then trim flush.

multiple ways, my prefferd method is bindingfreedom inserts, but like other suggest you can also use the plastic plugs, they are surprisingly easy to remove.



Inserts mounted with epoxy makes the holes have integrity, and even multiple inserts on a ski doesnt look as horrible as multiple plugged holes.

example pics from one of my skis with inserts, only real drawback is cost and time of putting them in, its like 2 hours ish if your tedious, 1 if your doing it for someone else :p
