What did you use to make the silver darker, Nicholas G? They look fantastic. Also, did you use regular nail polish remover to remove the graphics. How did you get between the eyelets?

My cat's breath smells like cat food.

Like dinner, jared9356.

I removed the graphics from my FT1's. Almost wish I didnt now. As the red part of the decals dissolved, they left a bit of a residue that smeared over the skates. The skates now look slightly pinkish. Unlike the Tacks, the silver under the FT1 graphics, just isn't as nice to look at. It's not awful, but probably better left alone.

Not bad Nicholas G. Nice work. Is the finish underneath less glossy than the Tacks or the same. You are using nail polish remover, correct? What brand? Also, what kind of a cloth or scrub pad would you recommend? Also, how long did it take to do?
-
He changed his gloves from Ultra Tacks to QRL's too. Surprised to see Hoffman wearing True skates. Thought he was skating really well in CCM's.
-
That's very helpful. Thanks a lot!

Playmakersedge, These graphics are almost like stickers, they are very thin and flake off on their own. There doesn't appear to be much of a clear coat if any on top of them. What product would you use do you figure?
-
Goof off definitely does work. It's probably not the ideal product, but it was working on the test patch.

Those are not my skates. I just found the image. I'd love to know what the guy used. The boots are so shiny still. I tried using a small amount of goof off to remove the graphics on my FT1s and it seemed to leave a dull finish underneath. I am worried that it is removing the outer lacquer on the skate. I just did a small test area. Not sure if I will proceed with a full decal removal yet.

A custom graphic would be pretty cool, but to be honest I like a simple design, so I would likely stick with whatever is underneath the graphics.
-
I'm not overthinking anything. I just want to make sure that I don't compromise the structure of my $1000 skates.
-
Will nail polish remover weaken the resin holding the boot together?
-
Personally I would rather the silver honeycomb than the not so great graphics package. I like it a bit simpler. The spots on mine and my buddy's skates that are peeling off show the silver stuff underneath. What product did you use to remove the graphics on your Super Tacks and do you think it affects the integrity of the material at all? I worry that using a solvent might mess with the resin that is used to hold the composite together.
-
By the looks of mine with the peeling graphics, it kind of looks like the silver honeycomb like pattern is the base underneath the graphics. If you do manage to do it, please take a picture and post it here. I saw a pair of Tacks that had the graphics removed and they looked awesome. I think it is stupid to screen on graphics when they are just going to peel and look terrible in a few months.

Thanks for the info guys.
-
I guess he gave up on the True skates?
-
Love the new pads, blocker and glove.
-
I see more Zuc updates on here than anything these days.
-
I see.
-
I see the RBZ FT1 on their website. Is there anywhere that a person can read about the features of the new Jetspeed stick?
-
So there's going to be a Jetspeed and an FT1? That's a little confusing. Is the Jetspeed replacing the FT1?
-
Yeah it would be nice if it was an actual DLC type of coating. Color doesn't do it for me. I'd like some performance advantage to go along with it.
-
I meant isn't it spelled Tydan and not Tyden as the previous poster wrote. I'm not saying it's their steel.
