Oiling Your Bindings
By: Skiboard Help Guy
Don’t you hate it when your bindings are so jammed up you feel like you need to take a sledgehammer to them to loosen up, or that annoying squeak that leaves your ears ringing for hours after? Well the answer for all these problems is just to oil your bindings; it’s also a cheap easy way to keep your bindings in good tune.
The first thing you have to know is what type of oil to use. You’ll want to use a finer oil the brand I can recommend to you is Dial’s Zoom Spout (you should be able to find this at a hardware store) which is a cooler oil but it worked fine for me. What you don’t want to use is hard oil such as WD-40 or most oils out of an out of a spray can, because the finer oil is heaver, so it stays in one place, and traps heat easier.
Now what you do to oil your bindings is you first tilt the skiboard on its side. Then you oil the hole where the top lever meets the binding plate you want to oil it so that the oil flows down into the hole.
Then apply till you are satisfied. After that move the binding around till the oil spreads and settles inside the binding. Then clean up excess oil, it’s that easy!
