Heating Suggestions

  1. Suggest gloves to protect fingers from hot metal parts …
  2. Remember first to adjust out the buckles before heating so that you do not lose heat doing it.
  3. (HOT BOX to retain heat?)
  4. (Compressed air or paint sprayer to accelerate cooling.)
  5. Sloping fitting platform.

 Hot Water.
You only need 2 inches of water in the bottom of the pot to create steam.
The advantage of boiling water is that the maximum temperature cannot exceed 100C. Its safe. It is also very conductive and effective … 30-40 seconds and the shell is saturated and ready for fitting.
The minimum effective heat molding is about 80C, depending on the type of plastics.

Convection heat … NO RADIANT “grill-roast” … is simply slower and the special Thermaflex oven can be found in most ski shops today. Heating takes about 8-10 minutes.
The problem with hot oven air is that the shells can be over heated .
Heating the liner.
You may need toe caps to help your toes compress and punch out some more toe room.
