ironplanet uk900 Posted November 29, 2009 Report Share Posted November 29, 2009 Saving your band may not be your problem. But I would certainly cut the units off. A picture would help advice on your next move. I would be very careful of what your taking on, as I have seen some which are more or less Impossible to repair to a standard to cope with there original intentions. They sound like they have injection moulded units.... Sometimes the upper doesn,t fold Underneath the inner boarding, when the unit is removed you can be in real trouble.

Hugh-Candoit (ENG) Posted December 3, 2009 Report Share Posted December 3, 2009 Lift the insole up inside to see if the upper goes underneath... if not... trouble. If yes still trouble, cut everthing off then use old band as it will ruin a new one. (thermoplastic)make sure no trace of it remains then glue & blake a resin sole on then your vibram type of unit will stick to this. There are alternate methods and its each to their own choice but whichever way you choose it may backfire on you unless you start with a clean upper. Be very wary of scouring or cutting without finding if the upper goes under the sola as Planet says. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gray Posted December 3, 2009 Report Share Posted December 3, 2009 Excellent advice by all, but as we have not heard from discodave for 5 days now, we can only assume that he did not receive the advice in time and is in fact firmly attached to the boots......to the band.....to the machine by melted material and is actually starving to death as we speak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
