^ ^ ^ Agree. I interpreted him as having the bonding done in the ski factory

It'd need to be the right kind of plastic, maybe very high quality nylon, and even with that the pullout strength will be nowhere near a proper mount in a ski core. Those female threads in your...

Zeno's test results and supplementation thereof (2nd set of tests), originally posted on TTips, suggests that tapping + epoxy results in better pullout resistance, i.e., tapped + epoxied mounts...

It's been decades since I was a shop rat but this analogous to my experience. Even way back then we used woodworker's glue marketed as ski binding glue for customer mounts and epoxy for all of our...

Well, this has been discussed before in many threads. IME, epoxy is not overkill. Epoxy increases the strength of the weakest link in the chain. That's particularly important with tech bnidngs, tele...

What "others" said that? I've done hundreds of mounts with epoxy and none of those problems has ever occurred. Do you have any direct experience?

Below is a pic of rusty binding screws, Titebond II used in mount. (Pic is from Zeno's now hard to find pullout test). I have seen similarly rusted screws in Titebond mounts.

I use long set epoxy (e.g., West Marine) for all ski mounts. I've tried other glues but always come back to long-set epoxy. Polyurethane glue is not waterproof, and is merely water resistant, less so...
