    ^^+1 The square and tick mark method is so easy and works on any ski I dunno why anyone would mess with another method. If you get a thick enough square you have the ability to run it along the actual ski edge which will eliminate any issues with finding center off the topsheet on skis with slightly off topsheets or rounded tops (i.e. cap skis).

    For next level pro mounts, put some notches in the square in several spots near the usual widths that u mount and it keeps the pencil locked in when you draw the line.

    totally. I forgot about your centering print.

    also, everyone stocking up on wax or tuning tools, buy stuff from Terry.

    What's going on in the first pic? It sort of looks like you took the toe off the afd plate? Never scene it done that way.

    Enjoy those skis. Those things crush!!

    Very observant. Those pedestals are left over from the cast conversion I just did. The only reason they are in the picture is because I needed the plastic afds as the pivots I was mounting on the Blizzard's came with grip walk afd's and I am using a alpine boot.

    If I was regularly mounting skis without a jig, I'd invest in one of these little handy saddle square things. But for now my notched square works fine.

    Just be careful with clamp selection. Not all clamps are created equal and lots of clamps have jaws which flex and/or are nowhere near parallel/square to each other from the get go. My collection was laughable.

    The question of all mounting questions....

    100 or 115mm on a 108mm waisted ski? We don’t want arms as a 3rd edge am I right?

    Extra wide (incorrectly adjusted, shop mounted) brake arms can allow the skis to get interlocked while in the middle of a Stein type turn.
    Very inconvenient.

    Agreed. brake arms can also hook into your other legs pants. Both instances, no fun.

    I always size down if in between sizes and bend the arms a little if needed.

    Salomon? Sth2 100mm might need a slight bend and a little effort to unpair when once together, this gets better after a couple of days.

    The origami method for fining the center line works very well, if done carefully. I usually do two marks for front binding, two for the back, and see if they all line up (and actually, I always do each one twice, just to make sure it's right). Make sure you mark on the ski, exactly where you put the paper, so you can get it in the same place after folding.

    Next question (I started a thread for this,, but was advised to ditch it and post here):

    I'm remounting some skis with a shop-mount, that used wood glue to seal the screws. I won't be reusing the old holes, so need to fill them. I usually use epoxy to fill the holes. But will the epoxy bind to the wood glue and form a solid seal? Or should I just go with plastic plugs?

    BTW I don't want to enlarge the holes, as new ones will be pretty close to old (and in that case, will plastic plugs be structurally sound enough?).

    I would just put some epoxy in them and then pop the plugs in. If the holes are close to the old one then the bindings are going to cover the plugs. Don't be scerd.
    Took me like 10 minutes to figure out how to change this shit

    Epoxy is fine, if you don't use some kind of filler in the holes its hard to get the air bubbles out of the hole

    so you can either pound in the plastic plugs with or without epoxy OR I found BBQ skewers will fit perfectly in the holes

    I don't think hard wood plugs or BBQ skewers or plastic plugs add anything structurally to a ski ... they just seal the hole

    So I picked up a tyrolia Jrex plate to mount Attack2s and the holes are off from the heel holes. I have mounted STH, STH2 Pivots using their plates an never had an issue with them before.

    Also is a flat heads width "normal" spacing on the heels of these?Click image for larger version.
