    what do I do with old binding holes

    I have a used pair of skis with out bindings. Being used they obviously have holes from where the previous bindings were mounted.
    What should I do with said holes?
    Is there anything that I should fill them up with?

    and if you mount them yourself, they'll usually just give you some plugs.

    plastic or wood plugs with epoxy. if you don't have plugs, just fill with epoxy.

    As an alternative to the above methods, you can use JB Weld or something similiar if you might need to drill close to the old holes. You can actually drill right into the old holes if you need to.

    Anybody use p-tex? Simple to fill, but can the heat cause damage to the ski?

    Go buy 2-ton epoxy at Walmart. It costs $1.97.

    overkill - just use the plugs or use plastic golf tees - hammer them in (with some wood glue/epoxy) cut them flush with top sheet.

    Thanks everyone. I'm just going to see if my shop can give me some plugs. If not I like the golf tee idea.

    You can always snag some from that game of "Battleship" that's just sitting in the closet.
