bigdyno Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 I am getting ready to heat my new set of liners and have read the suggestions about using an insert over your toes to gain some room while you set them. What kind of objects have people used to accomplish this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

queequeg Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 and put cotton balls between your toes This worked nicely for me. I put cotton balls between my toes and wrapped them in a thin toe cap made of foam from an old armsling. Remember to stand with a book under your toes while the liners cool, to create a nice heel cup for holddown, and remember not to buckle too tightly.

Corey Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 I cut up a pair of paddling socks. There's tons of neoprene left over to stuff between toes and pad any other hot spots on your feet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinecure Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 If you have some neoprene booties/socks, those work great. If not, a thick pair of old socks will work. I've never tried the cotton between toes before, I may have to try that next time. Are you doing this at home? By yourself? It really helps to have an assistant and to do a dry-run a few times if you haven't done it before. Practice putting everything on/in so that it goes smoothly when you do it for real. Be sure to get the wrinkles out. And I'd read all the instructions people have posted 2-3 times through before you start. Or go someplace that does it professionally and get it done right the first time (that's what I do). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdyno Posted October 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 I am going to the shop that did my Indy liners, do it once and do it right I say. Thanks for the info to all, keep the suggestions coming as it will be a couple of weeks before I go to get them done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr D Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 some of the shops are terrible. be sure theyhave done them before. A local shop overheated and shrunk my liners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
