ThePurpleCobra 0 Report post Posted December 24, 2006 I was wondering how hard it is to replace tongues on skates? Is it a job I could handle? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BK 0 Report post Posted December 24, 2006 I had a custom tounge put on my Salmings. I had it done at my lhs. It didn't look too hard (just a sewing machine), but I didn't have to have my old one removed.. I just added more fleece. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sven 1 Report post Posted December 24, 2006 Dont think so. Someone on here (a normal user, not a mod) did it on his own. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RadioGaGa 162 Report post Posted December 24, 2006 I'm pretty sure you need a pretty heavy duty sewing machine to do it. Mom's Singer won't go through the leather. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ktang 34 Report post Posted December 24, 2006 I did it by hand, but I used a sewing machine needle. Poke the needle through from the bottom, pass the top thread through the loop, pull it down, and poke it through at the next spot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Miike 1 Report post Posted December 25, 2006 If you had a regular tongue (ex/ the regular black ones), could you sew like white felt on to it so it brings the effect you have a white felt tongue? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
