Thread: skates #2

k the first pair seems to be going SO WELL,,thank god,,lol,,and now i did these for PYRO,,,CHECK EM OUT,,AND I HAVE ONE TO PUT BART SIMPSON ON,,,didnt do it yet,,

its a little tricky doing this pair cause the skates have stitches in them,,so ya design will fall in and out and might look distorted but this came out pretty clear and im proud of these,,impressed myself,,,lol

they came out first rate Ink very nice job

Very cool Ink,,i'm glad you figured out how to Prep and paint them,,,
peronaly i thought it wouldn't work,,
soon you'll have the whole NHL sending you skates to paint,,
nice work,,,

kimmo let me tell ya it was a nail bitter,,,i only figured it out cause of everyones input and then researching what the surface was,,still dont believe they are holding up on the ice,,,this surface was different from the other skates i did,,the first one felt like more canvas,,cloth type stuff,nylon,,this one feels like a hard sponge surface,,very tough stuff,,used accetone to break the water proof seal on them,,but LIGHTLY,,,WAS WORRIED OF DISCOLORATION FROM THE ACCETONE,,BUT NOPE,,STAYED BLACK,,SO KEWL!!

don thanks a mil,,WHO KNOWS HOW THE NEXT WILL GO,,EACH SKATES SURFACE SEEMS DIFFERENT,,,

Very nice! Since the first one you made seem to be doing fine, I think it will work out good if you stay away from the toes because that's the part that gets most tear. I have to agree with kimmo, I didn't think it would work but you seem to have worked out the formula for success, here too!
