So I got some old twins for free from a guy that had been using them on the street for rails and what not. They have a blown edge on one of them and the middle is shredded up to shit. There is also a few base shots that have never been filled as well as some edge that is just plain missing. I decided these are perfect skis for our cabin I can just leave them up there and they should work fine for powder. I pulled some bingings off some 8 year old ski's bent the brakes out. Than just eyeballed the mounts drilled and screwed them in. Should have payed more attention to that cause I ended up drilling them a little too wide so They have to be adjusted all the way in to work. but they still clamp down and release fine. This is the part I got really cheap. So I don't have any petex and I figured what the hell lets glue gun the shit out of these bastards. I filled the old drill holes with glue gun. Than filled the base shots with it. And layed a nice layer of glue over the blown edge. Waited for it to harden and cut off excess. I have a bad feeling about it though because I think the glue will stick to the snow like crazy. But hell it cost me nothin so lets see how it rides. Going up to our cabin tommorow!

i hope that one constantly pre-releases, and the other refuses to release and your knee explodes.

Nothing wrong with old bindings, a lot people still swear by the old Salomon 997s etc, as long as they are set up right

im pretty sure he was just bringing up the 997's as an example of how old bindings are still used and he wasnt specifically talking about the ones the kid put on his skis...
and that glue gun shits probably just gonna fall off, try using real epoxy, it comes in two tubes (epoxy and hardener), mix that shit up and use it to fill in the edge and whatnot. on the base use p-tex, you can either get it done by a shop, or do it yourself.

dude your gonna break yo anklez!!!
true story dont fuck up your bindings/mount
i bet the actual binding is ognna come off the ski and then send one ski straight through your heart BUT then there is hope cus you can survive it but oh wait the hot glue from the ski is also in your blood system blocking blood flow so you die.
