hockeyplayah18 0 Report post Posted October 14, 2007 so I went and picked up some Bauer Vapor XXV yesterday since i lost my XX's. after i got done baking and molding them, the guy at the hockey store said it was fine to use them right away...is this true? i always thought there was a 24 hour waiting period to let them set?

Ogie Oglethorpe 14 Report post Posted October 14, 2007 Let them sit. Better safe than sorry, and the glue should re-cure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TBLfan 25 Report post Posted October 14, 2007 you need at least 6 hours or so but 24 hours is to be safe and with skates it's better to be safe than sorry. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
duch 0 Report post Posted October 14, 2007 I concur. Wait at least 24 hrs. I know how anxious you are to try them out, but give the glues a chance to fully solidify and set before going out on the rink with them. In the long run you'll be glad you did.

dbeck 0 Report post Posted October 14, 2007 My LHS also suggested let them at least cool down overnight after heat molding. I picked up my pair about 2 months ago and just heat molded them recently...wow, it made such a big difference! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
