was there a mirror or copy of the Epuck guide to bake skates?!?

Im looking jfor that guide to baking skates. After doing a search, I found various links to it, but the link is dead.

As per a previous post , I purchased some RBK 7k skates online after my local dealer had none. Well, I went in yesterday afternoon and took the skates. I asked if I could have them baked, and he told me he did not want my business.

There are no ovens around within 2 hours, so im forced to do it my own. I will play it safe, but I wore the skates once, and they were OK, but tight in the width department. I need to break them in quick as my OLD skates are no longer an option (gave them to my brother out of town over the holidays)

So does anyone have a link to that guide?!?

I know the basics (heat element OFF, far from things, etc. But I want to make sure I do it right!!!

As well, is 3 minutes right for the RBK 7k pumps?!? at roughly 175?!??

I'm good friends with the Marketing Manager at Epuck/HG....I spoke to him about this 2 months ago. They pulled the link due to negative publicity and "pressure" from the manufacturers due to their instructions being "universal", yet each manufacturer has a different bake time and temperature recommendations. HG simply didn't want to be held liable, and thus pulled the link in name of self preservation. A wise move honestly.

ahh, i guess that makes sense.

Anyhow, I preheated my oven to 175, turned it off and stuck em in far from the elements.

After 5 minutes they BARELY seemed warm enough, but I wasnt willing to push the limits. I put em on, wore em for a while, and I guess Im going to wear the heck outta em and hope they break in properly!

What kind of oven do you have?

Gemini, Spreedizzle makes good points. But to answer your original question, here's a link to an archived version of that page...
