Fantastic interview & presentation, foresaw all the questions I had while keeping it concise!

[@ice.warehouse]

Glad to hear! Nothing better than getting the actual baking instructions from True themselves! Brandon at IW Hockey

Hockey is so freaking beautiful I love it

[@MiltIV84]

Bummer you didn't get to bake those bad boys to your feet Chase! LOL

[@CPickard-cc1ed]

I just got a new pair of TF7"s delivered at home. On the heat mold instructions someone wrote a note on the side saying not to bake TF7's at home. Is this true? I've baked other skates at home with no issues.

Vacuum storage bags work great for molding too.

[@ice.warehouse]

That's a great idea, do you have any details on your process? Chase at IW Hockey

[@TheBrad605]

@@ice.warehouseI thought of it because I worked for Dallas in the 90's when CCM had 650 vacu-Tacks. We would have to sit with a heat gun and heat the skate by hand. It took around 15-20 minutes to just heat the boot. The player put the skate on and we had a rubber bag we put over the boot. It had a valve where a pump (reverse air compressor) would suck the shit out the boot. There was so much pressure their toes would come out blue. Anyway it molded the skate beyond perfect. Amazon sell a bunch of different ones. Some come with a hand pump, or a small blue plug in pump or just use the shop-vac. Just zip bag around leg and suck away, you just have to hold the zipper at the leg to hold the seal but it really works. Good Luck!

[@benderisgreat349]

Great informative video! One question if possible... I molded my skates fine; however, I baked them with the top eyelet done up (where normally I don't while skating). This caused the top of my boot to curve in a bunch. Is there any way to fix this? Like flair it back out safely without running my nice boots?

[@ice.warehouse]

Exactly, I'd recommend re-baking your skates and not lacing the top eyelet as they cool. You can also flare out the eyelets when they're still warm to make it easier to slide your foot into them. Chase at IW Hockey

[@isaboteur2562]

Yea man why did u bake your skates while they were ties? All due respect but it's pretty obvious to leave em loose...I didn't even need directions to figure that out😂

[@-Nobody-1]

Have any of you guys at ice warehouse tried the shrink wrap method with other skate brands?? If so have you seen a difference??

[@ice.warehouse]

We haven't tried with other brands, but you can apply this method to achieve better molding results. I'd recommend doing this with any skate that is heat moldable. Brandon at IW Hockey

[@-Nobody-1]

@@ice.warehouse first time I’ve ever seen it. Makes a lot of sense and seams obvious… after some one makes a video about it 😆. Thanks for the share 👍 great idea 👍.

[@ice.warehouse]

No problem! Brandon at IW Hockey

[@STLVideos314]

If you have your True Skates rebaked a second time later down the road, is it necessary to get new insoles or just rebake with the original ones?

[@ice.warehouse]

You can keep the same insoles and rebake them with the skate! Brandon at IW Hockey

[@isaboteur2562]

​@@ice.warehouseman u respond to every question!! Respect 👊🏼

[@scott8532]

Can I use saran wrap instead of shrink wrap?

[@ice.warehouse]

I don't think saran wrap will offer what you need to accomplish this process. We offer a roll of shrink wrap on our website specifically designed to apply to this baking process. www.icewarehouse.com/Skate_Molding_Stretch_Wrap_Roll/descpage-ULSW.html Brandon at IW Hockey

[@isaboteur2562]

Saran wrap😂

[@garybowers2629]

Wherca you get the wrap

[@ice.warehouse]

We have it on our website! www.icewarehouse.com/Skate_Molding_Stretch_Wrap_Roll/descpage-ULSW.html Brandon at IW Hockey
