You just don't apply the fire directly to the wood, which is where I think he went wrong lol. Heat it, bend it, cool it. Done. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rock Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 I once went on the tour of the Prudential center. Was talking to one of the equipment guys. He told me one of the players used the blow torch once on a composite blade. Stunk up the arena something awful. Word came from above NOT to use blow torch on those type of blades. This was around the Jagr era I don't remember if it was him or not. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was torching sticks in an era where you wither had a wood stick or an aluminum shaft with a wooden blade, so I cannot speak as to this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s also how we changed the replaceable blades on the old 2 piece sticks. No idea how we never burned down my parents garage 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some kids tried to do it over the burner on their mom's stove, but those were the kids who were "supervised" lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rock Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 (edited) With plastic street hockey blades I would stick them in a pot of boiling water. to get them soft enough to bend. Made a couple of banana curves that way. Edited November 30, 2022 by Rock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
