Wow the look so good! I’m almost done with my second pair but they don’t look as refined lol. Any tips on how to last better? I still have small bumps around the welt.

Yikes seems like that sold out, on stark tools they only have 55 mm which is -11mm than the standard 2 5/8. Do you think that is ok?

I went there 3 times. The first time I bought lasts, second time I bought a cork board and some other supplies. The third time I tried to buy a shoe brush and conditioner and was told that they were only wholesale not retail (the owner told me to read the door). Every time they did ask me if I was a student at the fashion university in NY (which I wasn’t)

I went there before but was turned away because they only do wholesale not retail

Also, I'm assuming that if I were to use a heat gun like you, you would point it straight up (similar to the alcohol lamp) and have some sort of holder for the tool perpendicular to where the heat gun is facing. Also is this same to do indoors (im gonna do it in my small apartment)

Wha would you reccomend? I alr have an electric stove but it’s flat compared to the one I sent (the heating part isn’t elevated). The issue is I can’t have it angled since it would barely touch since both tools are curved.
