so after the holes for the bindings have been drilled and everything, is all you need to do is put some wood glue in the holes and crank the bindings down or what? Also if ive had a set of bindings off the ski for a while and im going to put them back on should i just add glue again and screw them down? thanks

what you described is correct. and yes, glue is definitely important if you want to put them back in the same holes. Make sure they go in easy though, you don't want to strip the grooves that are already there from the first drilling, or you bindings will rip out really easily

I would just cough up the dough and have a shop do it. Bindings are too important to your skiing and overall safety to be hacking away in your basement.

if there is metal in the skis they need to be tapped with a 4.1 tap. other wise you are corect.

the whole tapping things is really bullshit, if your using old holes id recomend you just toss some steel wool in with the glue/epoxy, and youll be fine...insurance testing wise the holes are independant of the way the holes are drilled since the holes were put in with the jig on them. The worst thing that can happen is they rip out and you have to pay to get them drilled again. Its not a big deal.
