FWIW, I tap all my mounts whether or not there's a titanal sheet in the binding area. I think it's a good idea for a number of reasons with no real downside except it takes a few minutes longer.

KLW ,your my kind of mechanic, I often use a small disc wheel on my dremel tool to make my own tap out of a binding screw. Works good on aluminum and titanal. We should probably should buy one someday as Greg suggests.

gregL, You're right. I bought one. What's another 22 bucks at this point?
Can you advise which glue you favor? Thanks!

Two part epoxy, 24 hr. marine grade if I have it, 5 minute in a pinch but you have to work fast.

West Systems G-Flex 24 hr. and turn the ski over to cure is optimal IMO. I was out last week so used Loctite 5 Minute from Home Depot and went out and skied them the next 6 days.
turn the ski over? What does that do?

Fills in the space around the screw threads rather than sinking to the bottom of the hole.
