right when i thought i had it all figured out, i ended up with a slight misalignment on this pair of skis. not much - probably .5-1mm or so. special thanks to Norse for talking me through this and helping me not freak out - i loosened the toe, pulled it more in alignment, and then tightened it again. it's still not perfect but i think the worst that can happen is it'll chew up the rubber on my boots a little bit, or, i'll die.

That is something you have to watch with that binding. Put the toe height up a bit before you click in and pull up on the toe while clicked in. There is often a scenario that the toe height looks perfect on those but its because the binding is artificially holding the toe down. When you ski it, it will pop right up and you will prerelease all day. Its the biggest quirk of the binding.

Yeah that's frustrating. The tightening order of the toe screws can easily swing the heel a couple mm in either direction, especially if you have 1 or two screw holes that aren't perfectly perpendicular to the surface or wandered a little when drilling.
I had this situation and was able to fix it by iteratively tightening one, and then a second till I found the combination of the first two screws that put the heel where I wanted it. Torque those ones down, check alignment, then torque the remaining two (or 3) down.

It was a dark and stormy night
I was too high to drive and the stores were all closed anyhow
I was mounting skis, I needed to plug some holes so i looked in the kitchen drawer for some plastic plugs,
imagine my suprise to find there were no plastic plugs
but I did find a whole bag of BBQ skewers
I used those
So to mount any binding where the boot heel/end of heelpiece frame needs to drop exactly into a heel piece
mount the heel piece dead center on the ski first
next drill & mount the toe piece by ONE screw ONLY
now lock the boot heel into ski mode, the toe piece shifts/rotates infinitesimally around that one screw to finds its happy place so you can drill another hole which will lock it in
when you get another screw into the toe piece it should be perfectly located but check to see if the boot heel drops into the pins or heel piece perfectly, if its not perfectly aligned you got 2 more screws to try for a perfect alignment
Instead of drilling all the screwholes using a flacid paper jig and wondering wtf you didLee Lau - xxx-er is the laziest Asian canuck I know

Fundamental storage issue.
First off-- don't cut the dispensing spout, just remove lids for dispensing.
For storage:
Squeeze bottle till component is @ the rim. Take inner seal and simultaneously push seal into bottle while releasing pressure with squeeze hand. Once inner seal is in just snuggly screw your uncut lid on. Should look like this.
Store it in a cool, dry place. Less light the better too.
I prefer this FG material for spinners. Essentially FG wool.
For a truly gaped hole, helicoil is the way to go.

I go through G-Flex too fast for it to harden up, but you can usually soften up resin by heating it with a heat gun gently for a bit (I do this once in a while with my cheap Super Glue epoxy - just fire away at the plastic bottle). For filling holes that need some integrity I use the cut up shards of the fiberglass matt that comes with boat/shower stall repair kits.

I’ll be attempting to fix some spinners today. Got my slow set epoxy and fiberglass mat all ready. Fingers crossed.

If any of you decided to create a tool like the one i suggested a few posts back (i deleted the post), then I would revisit the idea if I were you.
The suggested tool was accurate at first, but then increasingly was not. So it was an ok idea, but it sadly did not hold up to use very well.
leason identified: when making custom tools, try them for a bit before sharing so that you are sure that they hold up to use. The idea is to help fellow mags out, not have them jump into a rabbit hole together with you. (you being me)
So my bad fellow mags, my bad.

it just was not precise enough - the clamping couldn't excert enough force / started slipping and the vertical parts weren't parallell (though, how I made the holes in the jaws was to blame for that part). I prob could've salvaged the design into something that was good enough, but I've since thought out a different design that I am keen to try, so tbc I guess.
Mounted these today - jubilations - BMT for the win, aka what I do when I do not make a fuzz in the Moment thread (oh well). My main new tourer, a sidecountry pow setup and a pair for a good friend of mine (the shorter pair).
