LateApex Posted February 25, 2023 Report Share Posted February 25, 2023 Haven't done this in a while. What's the temp and time for baking a Palau (Deeluxe) liner? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LateApex Posted February 25, 2023 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2023 Ah found it: http://www.alpinecarving.com/bootfitting.html#heat 200º-250º F for 12-13 minutes. Plus a teaspoon of cayenne. ;o) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SunSurfer Posted February 25, 2023 Report Share Posted February 25, 2023 (edited) @LateApexTThe EVA foam in heat moldable liners is exquisitely sensitive to temperature, and the foam degasses and collapses at sustained temperatures above 80-90 Celsius, much lower than the temps you are proposing using. Set your oven to approx. 65-70 deg C, or equivalent F, and wait for it to come up to heat. Then put your liner in the oven and wait 15-20 minutes for it to come up to heat. Then complete the rest of the molding process. Liners treated this way will allow you more remoldings before needing replacement. If you are in doubt do some online research about the technical specifications (data sheets) for EVA foams.

There are lots of ways to apply heat to a moldable liner. Some of them are more controlled than others. Having ruined a Deeluxe liner in the past by using too much heat I am now more cautious and opt for as controlled a technique as possible.

JohnE Posted February 27, 2023 Report Share Posted February 27, 2023 The advantage of water over rice is that the water gets all the way down into the toe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
