I don't think Nu-Finish is a good choice because it's very abrasive actually. However, I don't see why a modern non-carnauba based automotive sealant that's designed to sheet water wouldn't do the same thing. Some modern sealants have amazing durability and ability to sheet water. I still own distribution rights for a large chemical manufacturer. If a sharpening shop wanted to test out a product I think would work, I'd be more then glad to send some out for free and see if they like it. It's an aircraft grade product with strong adhesion properties to stainless steel. Lot more cost effective than this too.

Blademaster has their own version as well.

We had looked into it awhile ago, but it was like another 20 some odd dollars a month plus fee's per check and my boss refuses to pay anymore fee's for payment processing unless he has too.

Prejudice things aside, We don't take personal checks from anyone at our business. Been burned too many times with Personal Checks. Business checks only.

If I'm reading the chart correctly... No should be less.

100/75 was to much bite. I am going to go to 100/50, think that will be better. Love the glide of the FB though.

Based on the thread I decided to give the Flat Bottom V a shot, I typically skate on a 1/2" and I'm going to give the 100/75 a go. I'm very curious to see how it feels.

Priceless. I laughed pretty hard when I read that.

Nope, he did send someone in with his skates to get them sharpened though LOL.

One of my final day's at the Pro Shop before it closed, had a guy come in before his game @ 10:30 at night saying he forgot his elbow pads. Asked me if he could borrow a pair, I actually offered to let him use mine they weren't big enough for him. So I told him to go down and talk to someone at the rink. They usually carried some spare equipment. Comes back w/ No luck. Asks me if he can buy a pair, wear them and return them. I tell him No, I can't resell it as new. He storms off all mad with a 25 dollar pair of closeout elbow pads. He comes in the next day and demands a refund and throws a huge scene in the middle of the store. Have to admit it was pretty amazing to watch a 35 year old man have a major temper tantrum over 25.00 elbow pads. He ended up getting his refund and told not to comeback.

LOL. Classic.

There is so many options it's really crazy. I mean Bauer can pretty much do anything, the key is having the right skate fitter. Some quick examples, if a boot is too shallow for you, they can add volume. If it's too deep, they can make it shallow.. If you have orthotics they can build the skate to the orthotic. Those are just a couple examples of major fitment changes.

Agreed on the shins.. While I know that the Fury Gloves Avery is wearing are Eagles.. They still look sweet.

Love the Great Whites... After I'm done with these G3's I'm def. doing some Custom G3 ultras just like that. I wonder if Graf does all white tongues?

No Ti-Pro in 75 Flex? Darn.

Digging JR's Z-Airs and the Junior Penguins gloves. Sweet...

That was a good laugh for the day. Thanks :D

I know I'm late on this and some of the peeves have been mentioned already but here were mine a few years back -People taking the smart hockey balls out of the box and taking a stick off the rack and shooting the balls at the walls in the store. -Entire teams coming in 10 minutes before again and they all need different hollows and they want the skates done 10 minutes ago. - "It was your fault my son had a bad game" trying to tell me the skates are sharpened wrong, When I just proved the edges were square and sharp and my co-workers and boss just confirmed they were fine. - We used to have a middle storage room in our pro shop, that was closed off with curtains and said employee's only...you can figure out the rest. - Beer league guys who forgot their pads and want to buy the cheapest we have, use them and then come in and try to return them saying they haven't used them when I watched them put the pads (usually elbows) on in the pro shop, throw the jersey on and go skate.

I know everything comes out in the spring.. But any ETA on the when the 120 AG Skates hit the market?

Here were my One90's with T-Blades. I was going to sell them on Ebay, But decided against it after talking with some people who have skated in the One90's for awhile. The skates are at my LHS having the old holder's put back on. T-Blades just aren't for me. The skate was crazy light I must say.
