Replying to Mounting Your Own Skis
This past weekend I anxiously dropped my brand new Afterbangs off at my local shop to get mounted, only to find out they drilled the binding screws too far, pushing through the base of my ski. After this, and reading a thread about a person who was nervous after dropping his skis off to get mounted, I figured this might be a relevant thread to make.
I more or less know how to mount skis, but was hoping some people could provide insight on how to do it successfully. Without a jig, you could trace the screw holes on your skis, then drill there, right? Also, what kind of drill bit would you need for a power drill, and how deep into the ski should you typically drill? Last question, what kind of glue would you put in the screw holes? Wood glue?
Any info would be greatly appreciated, I plan on practicing mounting old bindings on some old skis to try and get this down.
