A tork screwdriver is not a bad idea for people who didnt learn how to NOT strip a screw, i had to either learn or come back twice the second time with the new part And then the guys in the lunchroom would giggle about the "till it snaps and back off 1/4 turn" you want to be the giggler not the gigglee
Maybe I’ll start to use a torque wrench when reusing holes
On solid holes they’re usually a “wall” when tightening where it snugs up very quickly, spinners not so much.
Generally speaking the tension between the binding and the top sheet (friction) is pretty important for combating shear forces when skiing, vs the screw threads for pullout force vertically
swiss guy mounted tech bindings with 2 sided tape back in the day and I have never and I don't recommend that either
Honestly I've had more spinners using my torque-limiting handle (tested at 4.5 N-m) than just mounting by hand feel. Maybe it's just the fault of some soft core touring skis. But 4.5 N-m is pretty damn tight.
you want to be the giggler not the gigglee - that's hilarious and good tip for lots of things
Well, [emoji637] day on snow I didn’t die and the bonds and screws remain snug
Gorilla glue is the move for binding mounts in general imo, much higher strength and better bond and waterproofing than wood glue. Easier and less messy than epoxy

Anecdote - I had a spinner on a pair of skis I really wanted to ski, so I figured I ski them one day then fix it. Spinner was on one of the front heel holes of a pivot. I had the most violent double E of my life on that day (hit a hole in the snow going at least thirty) - binding is still on the ski.
