baking skates...especially Mission

[PiKappaPhi 0]

I am sorry if this is somewhat repetitive but I just really dont want to ruin my new skates. I have mission s500's and I want to bake them, but there is no place in augusta that bakes skates and I dont know where the nearest place to get it done is. What would I do if I wanted to bake them at home if possible? Let me know if it cannot be done cause I would rather break them in the old way and not ruin my skates :) Thanks a ton

On Mission's website they have instructions on baking skates. I think you should take a look there.

My S500s broke in very quickly without baking. It's better to skate in them than void the warranty by throwing them in your oven. Try looking up shops in nearby cities and see if they have an oven if you really want them baked.

My pureflys broke in almost immediately. Not worth baking missions if you ask me.

DON'T BAKE THEM IN YOUR OWN OVEN...IT IS NOT WORTH IT....

Try and find some shops that either have a bauer or Graf oven...They are basically identical to ours.

Otherwise, do it the old fashion way. Good luck....

I did my Z-Airs in a standard oven. If you do the same, just be sure to heat the oven to approx. 190 degrees and then turn the oven OFF before you put the skates in. The Heating process of the oven may burn them.

Question, Justin...

I had called Mission CS a long time ago and they told me 140 for the temperature...however the Mission oven cannot be adjusted, and it's a whole lot hotter than 140 degrees. I have a Bauer oven with the temp control at work...what temp should I bake Missions at?

[Justin 1933 134]

Good question...I have never checked to see what the actual temp of our oven...I believe it is 175 degrees....

I saw the SkateBake .pdf on the website. Says 175 degrees. Guess I've been underbaking them...

Nothing worse than getting a raw skate and having to send it back to the kitchen................
