How do you know if a screw is tight enough?
Direct tension indicators are washers that have small protrusions on them. When the bolt is tightened, the gap between the unturned element and the washer decreases. The size of the gap is then measured and when it reaches the desired size, the bolt is pronounced tightened.
What happens if you overtighten screws?
One of the most damaging ways to do that is by over-tightening, or over torquing the fastener. This can result in stripping screws, snapping screw heads and damaging pre-tapped threading.
How do you fill ski binding holes?
I usually fill the old holes with something like JB Weld or epoxy steel, and poke steel wool in the hole as well. It’s important to fill the holes completely with some sort of hard filler, do so by poking the epoxy and wool in with a small probe such as a tiny drill bit.
