You can use a two-phase epoxy. Elmer's glue will work also. Hot glue is okay, but sets pretty fast. The purpose is to keep moisture out.
ANS 2- I would use the best epoxy that I could get.
This is a very critical joint and Elmer's or hot glue are definitely NOT recommended

∙ 15y agoAlpine ski bindings are held onto the ski with special binding screws, usually four for the toepiece and four or five for the heelpiece. All new bindings come with screws, but if you have used ones that you need to remount, they will have binding screws at a ski shop. It's best to leave the mounting to a shop, since drilling the holes accurately requires a special jig provided by each binding manufacturer. A waterproof epoxy is applied to each screw when installed, to seal against water and prevent the screws from working loose.

How do you attach rottefella nnn bc auto ski bindings?
The bindings come with installation instructions, but if you got used bindings that didn't come with instructions... Quick question: are you putting these on new skis, or on skis that already have bindings on them? If they're old skis, remove the bindings already installed and use the old screw holes for the new bindings. If they're new skis, take them to a ski tech. You've got to drill holes in your skis and there are lots of calculations involved - how much you weigh, the skis being used and the way you ski determine where your boots should be on the ski.
Why do the the bindings on alpine skis lock the boot firmly in place while the bindlings on cross-country skis lock only the tip of the boot in place?
Most likely because there is a bigger chance that you will fall out of your skis while skiing alpine. Also in Cross Country technique sometimes you need to lift up your heel.

How is cross-country skiing different from down hill skiing?
Quite a bit is different. The gear is different, the skis are straight, as opposed to downhill skis being curved (the curve makes it easier to turn on a downhill slope), the boots in cross country are not stationary in the bindings, as downhill boots are, instead you can move the heels, and the poles used in cross country are longer. Also, the slopes are not nearly as steep as in downhill skiing.

What is the difference between alpine touring skis and all mountain skis?
Alpine Touring, also known as Randonnée, is a type of backcountry skiing. Randonnée ski bindings are a cross between standard downhill bindings (toes and heels locked in) and telemark bindings (only toes locked in). With randonnée bindings, the skier can clip down the heel piece when skiing downhill (like downhill bindings) and release it when skating or climbing (like telemark bindings). Special ski boots are used with both telemark and randonnée; though, randonnée boots have rigid soles like standard downhill boots. Also, randonnée bindings can release during falls, but telemark bindings cannot. And a skier need not learn to turn differently on AT skis, as with telemark skis, since the heel can be clipped down. As for the skis themselves, AT skis are typically much wider and heavier than a basic ski-area ski, as they are used more often in deep powder and ungroomed conditions; though, randonnée bindings can be mounted to most skis. All Mountain skis are a mid-width type of ski, such that the skier can handle well in both groomed and ungroomed/powder conditions--the latter not as well as with AT skis.
