Baking Bauer Vapor Skates at Home

[kjvelo]

Hey everyone, I’ve got a new pair of Bauer Vapor x2.6 skates that I want to bake and form to my feet before using.

I can’t get it done at a shop because of COVID lockdowns where I live. I’m thinking of doing it at home - I’ve found lots of videos online about the temperature and duration to use for a regular oven, but they’re not for Bauer Vapors in particular (most suggest between 175F - 210F for between 4-8 mins). Just wondering if anyone knows of the right temp and duration for this set of skates. Thanks!

Disclaimer, I found this on Reddit after Googling it. I don't know how accurate and/or up to date it is but I did find this.

Basically they say to only bake them in their own unit. If you wanna do it in a home oven, you're gonna have to follow a general guideline. If you're not comfortable doing it, not sure I'd recommend it

bauer should have instructions in the manual of how to do it and exactly what temperature. my x700's i got a year ago had a manual in it giving me the temperature and time
