I just forgot to turn the oven off with my Bauer Vapors and they were fine. I am going to try a hotter setting. Best Price Guarantee We'll beat any competitor! Login Register Cart 0.

Jack Sparrow on Oct 13, Well bptrr is right. How long do you guys put them in? I have had my Ribcores a few weeks and while I baked them at the store I think a second bake would help soon on e the cushioning has compressed.
The box says two minutes I think but that doesn't seem like it would do much. Once you get the oven to the pre-heated temp, put the skates in and turn the oven off to ensure the burners don't come back on if you lose some heat while the oven door is open.
I've done it in a non-convection oven after pre-heating to the desired temp and turning it off. One skate at a time stood up straight used some strong magnets on the runners sitting on a steel cookie tray in the middle of the oven. Worked great. The composite gets soft and cools much faster than any old construction. I'd say the Ribcores would be good with minutes also if they're the composite boot. I'd suggest doing one skate at a time btw. You get a better molding on the second skate because if you do both at the same time, the second skate has satrted to cool by the time you lace it up.
Unless you have a wood burning stove it's typically going to be pretty hard to overcook your skates at the recommended times and temps given. In my opinion most of the numbers recommended are too conservative. Cosmetic changes are usually nothing if you use a towel under your skate but that's going to vary by boot material composition. Usually cosmetic changes happen if using a heat gun for a punch when you really need to soften things up.
As long as your oven whatever kind can be reasonably trusted to heat to the desired temperature, and you aren't drunk and fall asleep during the bake you're going to be fine.
My guess thousands of skates baked in regular gas ovens and electric all the time. Just use common sense and it sounds like you have that going for you I preheat to ten degrees over temp. One new thing to be very careful with is monoframe skates. If you bake those and stand at all in them you could tip the holder and never know it until too late.
Probably fixable but that's a different animal altogether. I might only heat gun a monoframe boot. In fact, some players prefer the traditional way of breaking in skates which is to simply wear them. Use the oven mitt to place the skate inside the oven, and make sure the skate is not touching anything but the baking sheet.
Close the oven quickly to keep the heat trapped inside. Let the skates sit in the oven for approximately five minutes. Take off the skates and loosely tie them without the feet inside. Each time you bake a skate, it can accelerate the breakdown process of the skate.
Most modern skates are meant to only be baked once or twice. Anything further can start doing more harm than good. Create an account. Edit this Article. We use cookies to make wikiHow great.

To get the skate material to loosen you need to heat it so that the molecules soften, but the materials don't come apart.
Sometimes ovens don't display the correct heat. To prevent inaccuracy, double check the temperature with a thermometer. Turn the oven off once it is pre-heated. Most ovens have a way of showing you when it's preheated. Some will make a small sound where others will have a small light that will turn off. Shut the oven door tight to prevent any loss of hot air.
Applying constant heat to a skate when baking it can result in permanent damage. By putting it in a pre-heated oven that's not pumping out any more heat the skate will bake, not break. Place a single skate on a baking tray and loosen the tongue. Hockey skates are large and most ovens will only be able to fit 1 at a time. Even if you can fit 2 in your oven, baking the skates 1 at a time will ease the pressure on you, especially if it's your first time baking a skate. Then, undo all the laces and lay them over the center of the skate and loosen the tongue.
