Craig Gardner Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 now whats blake it on hi hakeemz blake it on is a term used by us shoe repairers it is an insole stitcher and a way that some cowboy shoe repairers attach most leather soles instead of using a outsole stitcher when a real welt is on a shoe.try glenway or mastergrave for replacement shields. craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auto Key Wizard Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 Only meeeeeeeeeeeeeee.... You don't wanna do it like that!! A Gravograph IS8000 is what we need, You don't want to be going to all that trouble trying to remove said small shield from said massive shield, & damaging that nice wood finish in the process. A nice big machine is what's needed Cheerio, bye, ta ta \:D/ Auto Key Wizard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kobblers Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 If you're worried about damaging the plate whilst trying to remove it then I suggest you cover the plate in duct tape as it's quite thick and won't leave any marks on the plate if you slip across it with your removal tool. Use that white masking tape that you buy for masking areas when painting for the wood around the plate, 3 layers should do it to protect the wood. Rick.
