Band Aid for dull blades

[Tom351 0]

Any reason to not do this?

The inside edge of my left blade wears out the fastest for me (probably because of how often I stop on that edge)

I stay pretty busy and do not get my blades re-sharpened nearly enough but could I -just as a quick temporary fix before a game- swap blades to the opposite foot's skate to put a less-worn edge in place of an edge that I have worn down due to my skating style. EX: Left inside egde becomes Right outside edge etc...

Can anyone think of any reason not to do this?

Again, I am fully aware that this is not a replacement for sharpening.

Should work OK - pain in the ass if you're on Tuuks though!

Nope, Easton- so it is pretty easy.

Thanks,

I don't follow what this Band Aid is???

He's just saying that instead of getting his skates sharpened, because he lost an edge, can he fix it by exchanging the steels on his runners - by switching them around.

By Band-Aid I mean covering the problem rather than fixing it.

when your stopping on your left inside edge, dont you usually use your right outside edge too ? and if not, your going to suffer in turning ability on yor right skate. so you might as well just get them sharpened or get a stone or sweetstick. it would also save you the trouble of taking your blades off every other game. ;)
