Loose Nuts? Shoe Goo!

If you're not a skateboarder, you probably don't know about the "almost as good as duct tape" product, Shoe Goo. You can find this wonderful, disgusting substance at places like Cvs, Rite Aide, Osh, Home Depot. Look for it in the adhesives, automotive, or home repair aisles. As we all know, pretty much every screw on our snowboard comes loose eventually. We also know that lock-tight can damage snowboards and is a bad idea. This is where the toothpaste-like snot tube comes in. Swipe some Shoe Goo across a finger, then swipe the Goo along the threads of each binding screw. You don't need a ton; just enough to fill the threads along one side. Give these 15 minutes or so to dry, and put everything back together. The Shoe Goo will not glue anything together, but its rubbery compound will keep screws from coming loose. Really!
