I am using my Garmont Energy's for the third season. The screw/nut plate that secures the strap backed out and came apart. Noticed it was loose on the other boot too. Then looking over the boots there are 4 screws that hold the ski/walk mode mech in place. Already missing a screw on one boot and 3 screws have backed out. Going over the boots thoroughly tonight.

Even a little rubber cement or Elmer's glue applied to screws and left to dry before assembly works well.Comment

I thought it was with regard to certain plastics, such as the kind 22Designs uses. Voile once told me it has no effect on the plastic it uses in their bindings, but other than that chatter, I know zilch about the stuff.Comment

Beeswax or candlewax will work fine.Comment

Thanks for the reminder!
For a safe threadlocking alternative, Vibra-Tite VC-3 Threadmate is probably the most popular "soft locking" option for applications where you want to avoid the anaerobic types that degrade some plastics.
I've used it on binding inserts with good success, but never thought to use it on boot fittings. Haven't tightened my boot fittings in a couple seasons, so it's probably over-due. Might add some VC-3 too while I'm in there.Comment
