Oven bake skates your self

[Hoffer 0]

Hey well I was wondering if any of you have ever oven baked skates your self in your oven or with a blow dryer. I was wondering if you would suggest it, not try it, what you used, and directions on how to do it if possible?

i tried to do mine with a blow dryer...it didnt work.

my local roller rink has a mission skate oven, and that worked perfect, i wouldnt reccomend doing them yourself. it doesnt work 2good.

also i wouldnt microwave socks to mold your skates to your feet, i stupiditly did it...fyi..its not a good idea

I did my ice hockey skates in the over (there's a guide on epuck) and they turned out alright.

You can do it in your own oven. Epuck has directions on how to

Yeah epuck's guide is pretty good. It is ideal to use a convection oven. Hair dryers and heat guns aren't a good idea because the heat will be concentrated in small areas.

Never bake your skates with the wheels still on!

180-200C will melt wheels

Just to avoid anyone toasting their skates, the recommendation is 185 F and not 185 C (185 C = 365 F). I still wouldn't bake them with the wheels on though.
