just store them in someplace where temperature isnt always going up and down and place them in the box. if you want. you can saran wrap them. that helps keep the moisture out.

yes, angelus brand is your best bet; you'll also need to add duller to get the shine down for that factory look

Sup NT just a heads up if you reside in the Bay Area, Tap Plastics has Sea Glow restocked otc.

I went to go cop sea glow last month before SJ dropped no store had it in stock, but it is now

Gorilla glue info.

Personally I wouldn't use it for shoes. Gorilla glue dries like a foamy yellow/white. Unless you are gluing areas not visible then its ok, but if you are gluing seams then don't use it. It holds well but it doesn't seal, it leaves lots of little bubbles because it foams up while it cures, kind of like the foam insulation but it doesn't expand as much as that.

 

[solealliance]

damn thats sum sick info but has anyone heard if barkeepers friend is really the best way to go to keep shine and clean mesh?

 

[ihavegout]

no, bar keepers friend leaves residue behind in the form of small black specks for some reason. I personally prefer using RIT but there are other solutions available if you do some research

 

[freakydestroyer]

The soles on my OG XIV's and XII's have turned yellow. But only on the lateral sides, the medial sides are crisp. I don't have time to experiment with restoring them, so I'd rather sell to someone who knows how to fix them. Both are DS in their boxes. XII's are size 9, and XIV's are 9.5. Letting them both go cheap. PM me or e-mail me at freddy55land@gmail.com

[jordan vs magic]

I have some paint chips missing on the front of 3 pairs of my 10s ice blues, fire reds, "steels". Is there a paint I can use to fix them?

 

[kobe jordan]

is taking the tissue paper out of the space jams box a big difference?

 

[airedweezy]

Where can I find angelus paint in the 323 area

 

[error on page]

[cparks614]

Aqua 8s soles are slightly cracking (aqua and purple parts), what type of paint should i use to cover up these cracks, acrylic or angelus?

 

[310hxa]

Does Mr. Clean Magic Eraser work on cleaning the white mesh on the 11's? I know everyone uses BKF but just want to know because i tried it on a small part of my DMP 11's and its cleaning them up pretty good but just want to know if its bad to use Magic Eraser on the white mesh. Thanx!
