^^^ i'd try just wearing them, that needle sounds like a terrible idea, defeat the purpose of the air unit if it has a hole in it.

Which heat gun did you price check? I think the cheapest one cost $40. It provides enough heat for the sole separation. The hair dryer will take you forever because it doesn't kick out as much heat compared to the heat gun. Find a heat gun that goes up to 500 degrees because that's enough to help the process without burning the foam. My heat gun goes up to 1100 degrees which cost $60 but I wanted something more powerful. Also to glockwork, try goof off. It should help remove the stickiness from the soles.
I just put it right on it will it matter if it gets on the fabric?Originally Posted by pimpjobu

You can either try sea glow or retro brite. I would use retro brite since it's easier to clean off the shoes.
Add duller to the finisher.Originally Posted by johnandrew07
Any body know how I can make my angelus matte acrylic finisher actually matte?? I dulled my black and it looked perfect, but when I added my matte acrylic finisher, it made it glossy...
Is there anything I can do to make it matte again?

cleaning the mesh upper you should be able to use any shoe cleaner or warm water and soap works well too (use a tooth brush and lightly work the mesh a few times with whatever product you use), dont paint the midsole its too much work and makes them not look so good. My advice would be to use retrobrite on the midsole to whiten it and while you're there you might as well put it on the sole (it will make it look like new) do this a few times and the sole and midsole will look great quickly. as far as cracks on PL there isnt much you can do but on the black PL you can just get a sharpie and fill in the parts that are not black anymore and nobody will notice but you. i hope this helps you out.

Does anyone have a way they do it? maybe a well kept secret between sneaker heads.
