Heating Jet Fins

[TeddyDiver]

Same problem. I'm going try in a sauna, just wondering about the right temperature Any ideas?
Waiting for the sun to heat my pads will liquidize the ice caps:14:

I was not going to take them stinky second hand rubbers to contaminate my new sauna. Could work though, just don't drop them onto the stones

I left mine onto the porch in direct sunlight for couple of hours, they did not actually require so much to start allowing the stuffing. I only heated the area I was working on, and did it in stages, keeping them in the heat. If I recall right it could not have been more than 25C that day. (I am sure you measure in C, like all reasonable sauna-going people do ) In direct blaze, I don't know where the temp rose.

How about trying a heat lamp?

A cold Goldencap cider and a hot sauna....

They don't exist. XL is too small and XXL is way too big. I guess I could add a pair of tennis shoes.

That's why they have Turtle Fins. I had the same problem with Jets.

Turtle fins are just like jets just with higher arch??

LP was out of them.

now ... does anyone know a way to shrink XXL jets? I am much too big for the XL, and just a bit too small for the XXL ...

btw - Turtles are not quite like Jets ... no where near the "snap" imho. they are close however - SP just needs to fix the sizing issue - when you can wear size 14 Jungle boots in your fin, they are too big even for most drysuit divers

Aloha, Tim

Bake 'em?

I'd try glueing some inner tube on the inside of the foot pockets.

How about trying slightly bigger boots? Boots have to fit but some boots have a bigger signature.
