removing rocker with heat or vac?

Postby Kite Scarecrow » Tue Jun 29, 2004 6:58 pm

Has anybody tried this??? I am curious because I want to do this with a Wakeskate. I like the fact that wakeskates are 1/2 as much as kiteskates. I would like to know how I build an oven big enough, (or do I have to go get a job at the pizza joint to have access to that size of an oven?)

dont waste the money, get some ply, bag of sand to weight it down and some bricks, cut the shape out with a jigsaw, sand the edges smooth, varnish it and put grip tape on .

or buy an electric blanket on ebay for $20, works for me when curing a board and can be made to get hotter if you overide the thermal cut off. Just keep an eye on it.
