home heat molding?

[pizzakid13 5]

i just bought a pair of used 705s and was wondering if anybody does this at home? epuck has instructions but i wanted expert opinions first.

Use the search function, there were a lot of topics there.

But in view its the best way to skate them in and let it happen naturally.

no its not. for a graf you should heat mold them as they can be heat molded as many times as you want. but to save 25-50$ i wouldnt do it at hoem and shell out the coin.

heat molding helps the break in process and if doen properly wont hurt durability.

just remember when you do it to turn the skate upside down on a baking sheet or something like that, not just on the rack

If you do decide to do it at home, make sure you put the skate on a towel, on a pan. Then turn the oven OFF before you put the skates in. I haven't read the epuck article in a while so I don't recall exactly what it says.

thanks. does the skate need to be positioned in a certain way on the towell?

I did it sucessfully,I preheated the oven at 200 ,put a damp towel on a baking sheet and left them in for 8 min each skate.
