Glue. I'm too lazy to search all 32 pages. I've been doing exclusively inserts with 72 hr epoxy last few years, but I'm doing a pair of skis w/o inserts for someone that wants to remove the bindings at the end of the year with minimal fuss. Wood core no metal. Besides Roo Glue what are you guys using that's available at the local hardware store that wont be a PITA on removal? Plain ol' wood glue?
waterproof wood glueQuote:

Big Steve recommended using the 3m 5200 marine adhesive awhile back and that is all I ever use now. I like that you can break loose w/o soldering iron in field.
What's the issue with using roo glue?
Nothing. I can't get it at the hardware store. I'd need to order it.Quote:

Mounted up these, second time doing it but still did the 2x4 test.
Paper template easy as pie. Go-Rilla wood glue.

Helped a buddy by drinking his beer while he used my Jiggyrex to mount some them nu fangledy tech clamps on sum voile red skis.
Mounted Thing 1's new fucking skis for his fucking birthday. No template so I had to totally freeball it. Also had to do a little brake bendy. Came out money.

Those are sweet. Finishing up a couple mounts tomorrow. Gotta do some brake bendy.
You can but...Quote:

Plus the base of the binding (without the lifter plate) is not designed to be mounted directly onto the topsheet. Vibration forces will eventually cause cracking/failure to occur.
I think that was only the 900s bindings that applied to.Quote:

Sigh. Why doesn't the mtn lab ski have this topsheet? Why did they give the best one to the q115? Looks great with the kingpin. Did you find a template or freehand that bad boy?Quote:

Throw a little extra masking tape on twin tips to mark which way is up. That's a really easy mistake to make. I didn't previously think I was dumb enough to make a mistake like that. Clearly I am. Glad there wasn't a penalty.
dynafit specs 4.1x9 bit i have 4x9.5 can i use that?
yes.Quote:

..., etc, etc, etc,..
in an attempt to mount my own fucking skis I purchases the 22designs jig and proceeded to leave it at a buddies shop to use (he only had a 4 hole). Now I find out we're not actually buddies after he sold out and packed up without telling me, so I have to fight to get it back from the new guy. Good thing new skis are not in the budget I guess.
What state are you in?Quote:

It will be much less hassle for him to return the jig then deal with the police at his door.
I am not a lawyer. I never even stayed at Holiday Inn. But drop me a line if you need help with the letter.
No beer while mounting for me. I did this on the clock things have been slow
