Bad baking

[Siponarius 17]

Is it possible a store with an oven, not to be confused with a LHS, could not have their oven hot enough to do a proper bake, or not have it at the correct temperature? What would the results be if that were the case: skate just gets warm rather then activating the thermafoldability?

Yes, it is certainly possible that a store didn't heat the skate long enough, etc.  No damage will be done.  Always have work done by people you trust who an expertise.

Skate specific ovens aren’t adjustable temperature wise. What kind of skates were you baking? If you feel they didn’t get hot enough, it could be a bad oven. 

 

Or the employee didn’t let it preheat before putting your skates in.

Totally possible.  Each skate manufacturer has there own oven and procedure  .     The only thing that was lost was your time  . Also valuable I understand.       My self I have been involved with hockey one way or the other  for 35 years give or take  ; but the past decade alot has changed.   So I'm learning about these moldable skates and the equipment changes.   I can speak for what worked for me with my CCM rbz skates  was this after sourcing information on line .  I cut blade width slots in two pieces of wood   I took one rack from  my home oven and lowered the other all the way.  I pre heated the oven to 200º when it became 200 I shut the oven off ;  then put the skates on the rack being held up by the wood blocks as quickly as possible. Close the door and let them heat for 10 minutes  . After ten minutes I took one skate out and tightened it up then the other  and did the same.   Heads up on tightening the laces,  don't pull the laces straight back pull them out . Straight back can elongate the material holding the eyelets.    CCM says 170º  I did 200 for the loss of heat while opening the door.  This ended up working well .         

There are folks on msh that are really up on specs and stuff like this  . The brand and model will be helpful  .   Hope this helps some.

It was a while ago, a pair of n7000s. Was just thinking about it the other day TBH. The nearest LHS is 40min in one direction or 1.5 hours in the other. Only place in town is a chain store, who have an oven and a bunch of high school kids there, and after baking them, didn’t get great ankle wrap.

From what I read, the n7000 only has limited amount of materials in it that will "bake". The higher the Nexus line you go, the more moldable it is. I just bought a pair of n7000 and will get them baked next weekend so we'll see if what I read is true...

I’d be interested in knowing how it goes, Scott!

Sort of true.  Each company has their own, however each is the same oven with their own individual sticker on them.  This is the way it is with the new ovens at least
