Loctite OK on K2 inserts?
Skis are 06/07 Hippy Stinx. Bindings are 06/07 Bomber Bishops. Screws
from Bomber. Retightened after skiing but loosened the next ski day (front screw visibly backed out by lunch at Whistler). Is Loctite 222 (Threadlocker Low Strength/Small Screw) safe to use? Thanks in advance. |

CHECK WITH YOUR MANUFACTURER, SOME FLAVORS OF LOCKTITE DISOLVE FOAM CORES AND WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY, SEE WHAT K-2 RECOMENDS, DON'T JUST "DO IT". A Ski, eh? If the hole is stripped, repair with heli-coil. There may be something which works. |

So I'm thinking you should be fine putting Loctite in yours. Traditionally a drop of wood glue was put in each hole before screws were inserted - held securely and was pretty harmless - easy to remove when required, as well. Also sealed the hole against moisture. |

Also sealed the hole against moisture. I think Bob's answer is the right one. I would just add that one should find out what flavor of LockTite K2 prefers. This is, after all, a machine screw. Snowboard bindings also come with a dab of blue LockTite applied, but you are warned to use only the same kind of LockTite because some varieties are harmful to materials used in manufacture. |
