  1. Heck don't worry about what people are gonna think at public skating. Those kind of people are going to find something on someone to criticise or snicker about
  2. I have the two pair of learning what sizes have done since the late 90's learning experience tacks that I could experiment with . The nail polish remover I found in my house seams to be some non toxic citrus base stuff. I got caught with it and quickly got the stuff taken away. I mean she freaked out.
  3. Skating, try and describe the difference you are feeling . Or even take video of your self in both conditions. Then I can give you some idea in a more accurate way . Another thought is weight: I am not current on knowledge of equipment weight but we certainly know it's adding weight to you . That can add significant increase in friction at the skate and the ice . It could be something as simple as a shallower hollow. Not knowing how you skate :form ,stride , If your skates are too tight. When I take on a student the first thing I do after getting them to stretch is sit with them and check is there sharpening, then I check skate fit : a large percentage have skates on that are too big . Then I see how they put them on : large percentage have there skates way too tight . If this is the case I explain the restricted movement on the rubber ,I show them my laces and my amount of movement. Then I lace there skates snug and leave the top two eyelets undone. Then we hit the ice . And I say take a couple laps take a video. Then I ask was there any difference on how you felt now compared to before. Almost all say I got better push and the skate feels sharper . Then I go over the video and show them the ideal body position in slow skating or even standing still. Then we work on him or her getting in proper form . All done slow . more info then you wanted I'm sure . But hope it can help
  4. 9/16 is good . Have you ever taken power skating? I find it gives players a more positive edge. Nice that you are all skating on the same hollow.
  5. http://m.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/cspages/decaleraserwheel.php?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI-7L0vvKF2AIVyuMbCh1v4gx3EAQYDCABEgL8bvD_BwE Here is a tool that you use in a power drill .they are used to remove factory stripes, decals and such
  6. Probably not clear coated. Have you tried to find footage of it being applied? That may give a clue. So of the auto graphics just needs a little heat and and getting under an edge with a single edge razor blade and heat and peel it . There is also a sticker and decal glue removal wheel that doesn't ruin the paint. I'm going to see if I can fin it .. Eastwood has these kinds of stuff
  7. Ok head gasets on an infinity what size engine? And most importantly how was the head gasket condemned.:: combustion gasses in the coolant? Or milky oil . Milky oil is a sign of moiture or even to much oil in the vehicle. Ther are different test and procedure to condemn a head gasket . The chemical test hits them all and gives you data in minute ..... I have worked as a profeprofessional auto tech since I was ten . Had to pay for hockey. So when My knee got Ruined i did the car thing.. ASE master tech ,taught at tech college. Two reasons head gasket fail. Over beating and a high ph . That eats the gasket.
  8. I have to buy a spinner set up or make the rig and just buy the spinner. From being away from hockey for years to heal alot has happened. I heard about the fbv and thought oh boy another gimmick, but I'm hearing all good about it . When I played I skated on 3/4 . Now 5/8
  9. Really cool stuff: so to acquire bit coin. You have to accept bit coin as payment, purchase bit coin with standard currency, or be a miner an be rewarded by keeping the book ? I'm curious about the purchase of bit coin: big brother knows when regular currency is withdrawn: is there a tax on the front side when the bit coin is purchased with that money? For the folks that have been in this for significant amount of time with healthy gains make bit coin loans? If so how is the risk measured ?
  10. I found a documentary too. I will watch the video. Totally get now the entire point of it is not having a gate keeper.
  11. The bit coin ,if I understand it correctly is like a bartering aggreamt . You do for Fred he pays you in bit coin. Then this ether currency can be used on other goods and services, or let it sit and become stronger? Where does the the increase of value come from? Hoo is the gate keeper of bit coin ? It' fn genius at its origin ; some one put a number of bit coin in a file and then used it to buy goods or services. How much he was able to get for x amount of bit coin established a value for the currency that is pretty much there in theory. And there is no tax on bit coin.???? Am I on the right track? What scare me the U.S . Achilles heal is the dollar .we want more ,the government wants more. So we have a precarious game of chicken happening. Mean while product is be produced and,being sold using the dollar to vendors.,who then sell the product and they participate with the bitcoin system. What protections does the bit coin have ? Can the gate keeper say at any given time This all was a social experiment. The process can possibly put the value of the the dollar in the toilet. For there has to be currency to complete the cycle? I' m just thinking out loud , thinking this could be used too cripple the country
  12. I don't blame you .. I am severely dyslexic. Anything with distinct importance I try to listen about. And hear information then stew on it pondering who's information has logic and who is just showing off with a thimble full of information . When I had my auto repair shop, I parlayed with buying private owner used cars ,so my customer gave me . I would put my money into inventory and trying to ge lots of exotic auto wor. . But I never did stocks ,not even 401 k because of the reading so I did things my own little way .
  13. The paint use for the graphics isn't laquer . Lacquer re catalyses the plastic and it dries but doesn't stick. And multiple coats just recatylises the next . It's a bloody nightmare. When I paint one of the custom motorcycles I build, all the parts are from raw metal. It takes a year to build all the pieces so a protectant has to be applied to prevent rust . When the fabrication is done I wash the parts with prep solvent, then denatured alcohl, then use a tack rag on the part ,then I prime it with epoxy primer a couple coats then I do body work to make it perfect,, you can use what ever paint you want on top of epoxy primer . I wouldn't use solvent , soda bast or scotch brite pads
  14. Take a look at the custom paint on the goalie mask I posted that my buddy did. I can paint and air brush but not at that level. The color on that is urethane base ,the shadowing and graphics is water base . Then it all gets clear urethane for depth and shine and durability. The stuff that thins that is called reducer. A urethane never completely hardens it gets a hard shell then it stays malleable. the reducer applied to urethane to take it off brakes it down and makes it gummy. Without knowing exactly what the skate is made from and how reducer is going to affect it I would not go near it with a solvent or chemical. I would mask off the surfaces that you don't want affected , then I would use a soda blaster to remove the factory graphics. It is baking soda and compressed air. You have to make sure you don't stay in one place. After that process I would wet sand with soapy water 600,800,1200, then I would use mothers fine rubbing compound to make the surface baby but smooth, mothers wax will add a shine if you want
  15. Is your only reward the product coming to fruition and receiving it; or do you receive others for believing and helping get the product off and running?
  16. Check out that goalie mask one of my best friends air brushed. When I saw these skates my first thought was a cobra head on the tongue
  17. Sounds fascinating. I have to find information that is visual . Graph or out line format or listen about it.
  18. How did you end up doing it ? Looks good. But if you went to go take a leak in the locker room I would put bells on your laces 😆
  19. Colins, I'm happy you love your machine . And I want the machine and the company to thrive . I'm a fan of the machine . My points I have been doing a poor job of conveying are (1) I don't want the company to get smothered with warranty claims from customer abuse (2) to the people buying it use it as it was designed a family home sharpener (3) if you are buying a Sparx because you don't think you will be able to do the job on a manual machine, stop thinking that . It' not that hard .anyone can do it . I have only good expectations for this machine . I actually reached out to the CEO and threw out a sales strategy that will increase market penetration by at least 40% . And another model idea that saves even more time . Real talk: lots of people are dis honest : we know there will be machines being abused.: from over use,from someone with I don't care not my $$$ attitude , from a team of players doing there skates every day . We know machines are going to be purchased in a way that is going to be used as a family sharpener ,then use for teams or divisions ,uve an entire YH organization . And if the machine breaks because of these things it won' be revealed to the company this is how it was used. Some people are going to get one over on them . (4) not enough time has passed to prove longevity.. My opinion is if the machine is used for what it is intended for it will last along time.
