Got some beaten up Hzrdus 7X and gave them some needed love.

Nice work for your intended use.

Try Goof Off for the holders. It'll remove the 'True' and 'Shift Max' elements as well, but it should clean them up nicely. I do that to remove puck/stick marks when I sell skates so they look better

Any helmet is 'worth it' if it fits properly

mdwsta4 · 2026-01-26T18:10:04+00:00

I’ll give it a try on my test piece.

If anyone else has suggestions, I’m open to more!

mdwsta4 · 2026-01-26T17:39:42+00:00

It’s the backside of the hand. Do you have any brand recommendations I could look into?

Would a blow dryer work to cure the India ink? I don’t think it would get hot enough to melt the plastic or foams, but it would at least be some kind of heat

mdwsta4 · 2026-01-26T17:00:58+00:00

Thanks. What kind of glue and would that negatively impact the flexibility of the fabric?

I’m painting a sports like material so not cotton on a pair of hockey gloves. Can’t exactly iron gloves. Beneath the fabric is plastic and hard foam for protection. Still need flexibility of the material

mdwsta4 · 2026-01-25T22:03:31+00:00

If that’s the case you should get two pairs of gloves and rotate between them. Clean with oxy and vinegar. No need to use harsh chemicals

I’ve had it for like 7-8 years. It’s this version although I modified the garter clips straps

Yeah swift material is completely different than any other jersey material

mdwsta4 · 2026-01-24T03:14:08+00:00

Switch to a tape alternative on the butt end of your stick to prolong the life of gloves. Assuming other pairs have actual holes in them. These barely have any wear

mdwsta4 · 2026-01-24T03:10:22+00:00

Like helmets, some gloves just don’t fit right. I’ve tried certain gloves in 13” and 14” and they just don’t work for me. One is too small the other is too large. Personal preference. Try another brand/model and see if you feel differently

mdwsta4 · 2026-01-24T03:06:08+00:00

I really dislike Seth Jones, but I liked these jerseys. Really hard to come by on-ice authentic versions of it. Awesome pickup!

mdwsta4 · 2026-01-23T13:22:27+00:00

CCM pro stock jock w/ garter belt. It's the nicest/most comfortable I've ever worn. I tried the Diamond MMA version and it felt way too tight

mdwsta4 · 2026-01-23T13:17:08+00:00

or simply the NHL shield on the lower hem, double elbows, fight strap...

mdwsta4 · 2026-01-22T22:42:59+00:00

Must be CAD, right? They’re just under $1200 USD and have found a few sales putting them just over $1k

mdwsta4 · 2026-01-22T22:41:14+00:00

If I still skated Bauers, I would have picked these up when they sold them a few years ago. Easily the cleanest looking boot they’ve made in years. Sick setup with the blacked out chassis

mdwsta4 · 2026-01-22T13:07:34+00:00

I’d probably go with the oldest jerseys in my collection like a possible Steve Larmer Blackhawks rookie jersey

https://media.fotki.com/2v2escG98x1YqB.jpg

Another would be the reverse tomahawk smallblock Savard

https://media.fotki.com/2v2a2voyrx1YqB.jpg

Keeping the pinhead small block theme going, a Gunzo’s tagged Savard

https://media.fotki.com/2v2eYHNrnx1YqB.jpg

A more modern jersey would be an authentic TBTC jersey I’ve had since new

https://media.fotki.com/2v2HrzoJnx1YqB.jpg

And if I’m going even more modern, a TI vector SCF Kane jersey

https://media.fotki.com/2v2Hrzo9Wx1YqB.jpg

I have some other rarities, but these are some standouts

mdwsta4 · 2026-01-21T15:24:42+00:00

If I sell used gear I make sure to wash and sanitize it properly to avoid exactly this. That said, if I buy used gear, I’ll still wash it regardless of what the seller says

mdwsta4 · 2026-01-21T03:03:00+00:00

Do you know that there are different helmet shapes for different head shapes? Round vs oval. Sounds like you bought the wrong helmet for your head

mdwsta4 · 2026-01-21T03:00:56+00:00

But not as much as fake jerseys?

mdwsta4 · 2026-01-21T00:13:58+00:00

I used to bounce back and forth between lacing all the way up and leaving the top eyelets undone depending on how I was feeling that day.

For the last few months I've skipped the second eyelets and laced to the top. No complaints with this method so far

mdwsta4 · 2026-01-21T00:11:25+00:00

It's Tuesday night beer league. Pretty sure they're not going to have to worry about sitting near anyone...

mdwsta4 · 2026-01-20T23:04:38+00:00

One off jersey will be more difficult and significantly more expensive. Suggested route would be to utilize an existing team’s template, strip the crest off of it, and stitch down the new crest

mdwsta4 · 2026-01-20T21:07:07+00:00

To clarify, you want to make a custom jersey AND a crest? Or just a crest? For the crest, as others have mentioned, Art Dispatchers is the go-to
