Re-used holes for Pivots Last night. 13/16 holes went well, cinched down super tight. 3 of the rearmost heel screws are *slight* spinners though (2 on one ski, 1 on the other). Cinched down decently tight, flush, with relatively good bite, but I could feel them start to let go a bit the last 1/4 turn I used gorilla glue, which should have decent bonding properties. Tempted to ski them as-is, particularly because there is a good chance I will only ski these a day before catch-and-release (will inform next buyer, hoepfully they would need to remount the heels anyways for a different boot size). FKS heels are known for ripouts occasionally though, so makes me a bit nervous. I do have epoxy and fiberglass cloth I can pull the heels and use to try and fix the mount (pack holes, lightly screw in, let set, cinch down next day). I have had mixed results in the past doing this, worked great once - and not at all the next time (perhaps because I used too much epoxy and not enough fiberglass). I also have inserts I can install, but do not really want to ~waste~ 8 inserts and screws and mismatch the binding screws. What say the maggots? Anyone ever ski on *slight* spinners and not die?
