One95 Baking Question

[kovalchuk71 212]

Im going to get my one95s baked tomorrow. My question is, can I skate on them the same day? Im gonna get them baked at 4 and have a game around 11PM. Or should I just play it safe and wait?

I'd wait if I were you. When you bake you loosen the glue in the boot and you want the glue within the boot to cure and reset, people say it takes at least 24 hours for the glue to cure and reset after baking. I myself don't know the exact amount of time it really takes, but I'd play conservative and heed the wait 24 hours suggestion for the reasons I mentioned.

People also claim that if you put your skates in the freezer you will be able to skate on it earlier, so if you put your skates in the freezer you may be able to skate for your 11pm ice time. I'm not really sure if this will accelerate the curing and reseting of the glue so you have to answer that question.

It's ultimately up to you though. But, if you think about it, you paid a lot of money for your skates, what's another 24 hour wait to make everything is fine and well?

Very good point Bears. Ill wait. I dont want my $$$ going down the drain because I was dying to use them.

Most manufactures states in the skate's warranty that it is only valid if you leave 24 hours between baking and skating. If you wait 18 it probably wont make a difference, if you wait 8 hours, you'll probably break something off or stretch something in a terribly wrong direction and the service center will be able to tell that's what happened.

I left mine in the cold garage for 12 hours and skated with no problem (this is what the seller recommended).

The one95 are tanks, I doubt you'll have any problems if you don't wait the full 24 hours.

Old thread, but I just want to get a definitive response. I bought one95's today, and the guy at the store said it was okay to put them in the freezer after baking to move things along faster (baked at about noon - currently 2:00, 10:00pm game, so if they went in the freezer now, they'd have about 7-7.5 hours in there). He seemed to know what he was talking about in general, but I just wanted to check on here to make sure that was correct/get a second opinion. Obviously I'll skate on my old skates if I have to, but I'm not ashamed to say I'm like a kid with a new toy about these skates, and want to get to play on them a.s.a.p. (just not if that means I risk wrecking them or something).

Edit - I just read the tag in the box, and it said wait at least one hour before skating - I'm not that daring, but maybe there's some flexibility on the 24 hour rule I've read on MSH?

Actually you can skate in them 2 hrs after baking, if done at the right temp and time. I got that info from the skate mastermind himself - I normally don't spread that because of user error.

However putting them in the freezer for a couple of hours will help - you don't need them in there for 8.

Thanks, JR, you da' man.

I went on the ice about 1-2 hours afree I baked mine. No freezer and they've been fine 2 years later. Like jr said though make sure they're baked right: I went through three pairs of xxx's because of improper baking.

I have a bit of a dilemma related to baking one95s so I thought I would put this in here rather than start a new thread.

I recently got a new pair of one95 skates and had them baked in store. However, after only skating on them twice, I have noticed that there is some separation between the boot itself and the outsole, around the mid-foot area.

Basically I have two issues I need help with, and would greatly appreciate the input of the experts in how to go about this.

Firstly, is this a warranty issue worth getting looked at while the skates are under warranty (is it something to worry about that may get progressively worse)? Secondly, is it a fault in the skate, or a result of the baking?

The reason I ask is because the shop I bought from and the shop I paid to bake them for me a two separate businesses, therefore, who do I go to about this?

[JR Boucicaut 3810]

Put some epoxy between boot and sole and call it a day?

[Nate44 0]

Thanks I definitely will do that. It's just something I want to make sure isn't going to get significantly worse over time to a point where it actually affects the usefulness of the skate.

Just to clarify, the skates were baked according to the instructions in the box using a bauer oven and left for three days before being used.
