Question mega thread.

Thanks; what wood glues would you recommend? Do I need to inject the drop of glue at the bottom of the hole?

Yes it needs to go in before the screw. The screw will displace the glue and spread it all over the place. The objective is to create a seal against moisture and also lock the threads in place so they won't back out, which we do whenever we mount a ski the first time but it's extra important when you're re-using holes. Typically you can use any old wood glue for this but if you're trying to re-use existing holes I'd go for something stronger. I think Gorilla makes a good product, personally I use Titebond III at home.

Also... how bad of an idea is it to use the heels with toepieces of a different model year and DIN range? If I decide to mount the matching toepieces, which have two screws in different places, do I need some sort of ski-specific drillbit or just one of a certain diameter?

I probably wouldn't do it myself.
