Caloss, could you please post the images of your plaster of paris mold for the soles?

 

[youngking59]

Caloss, could you please post the images of your plaster of parish mold for the soles?

Sorry guys i would of posed them way earlier but i had no casting with the finished product i will post pics of the moldings i just got to dig them out of my vault

 

[Caloss]

great. Hopefully it should work.

I was reading about retrobrite and how its not a permanent solution. Whether its shoes or plastic parts, they do go yellow again, albeit slowly.

My guess is with a good few coats of sealer after applying the retrobite or seaglow, you should get a strong seal which is uv resistant.

Definitely worth doing an extra coat of sealer to give extra UV protection.

This might be what your looking for hope it helps.

These factory grey soles prove to be difficult to clean. Does anyone know how I can get this mark off the heel cup? I've tried fantastic, and also a magic eraser, and neither one made any dent.

Also, I tried a dab of automotive rubber/vinyl UV protectant on the bottom (a test to prevent the soles from yellowing), and while the liquid is completely clear, it immediately made the grey dirty looking and then I could not get it clean again with the same two above methods. Wow! Glad I tried in on the bottom first.

That dark grey line is imbedded in the rubber. No way to get it out.

hay fam has any one just try,d armorall wipes by chance ????

I know it not permeant but it might save are shoes from turning to yellow poo
i seen a you tube vid wear dude has had ice clear sole's on his v5's for 5 years and he apply's every 3 wears out so not permenet but i think ill give it a try. but i know not to get on the fabric lol

"waste of money on the clear, it doesnt dry clear it yellows, i feel as if the guy on the can owes me a new back window for my convertible"

wanted to see if what you posted would be a better solution than plastidip but apparently it yellows over time as well according to a review on amazon

also where does everyone get their mini LED's for their heel bubbles?

Definitely try it on the underside of the shoe first. I couldn't believe what the clear liquid did on my test. Not acceptable at all.

I don't have a full sense of completion without posting some pictures of my 2nd pair. Hooooraaaay!!!! I'm so glad to be done with these shoes for good. It's a terrible job, and I never want to fully mod another pair again. The clear soles were the worst, and made my fingertips raw.

The only possible future work would be to paint the grey soles if they yellow, and maybe do the retrobrite to the clear, but for now they are done. I can only hope that since we have gone to this much ridiculous trouble, that it will only increase the chances of Nike releasing a reasonably priced version next year. We shall see.

All the work is worth it though in the end. Every time I look at these and turn the lights on, it's PURE SEX!

Thanks again for everyone's help on here, particularly Brad, Caloss, and Airair. Cheers guys!

Never gets old seeing a freshly modded pair, especially when you know what it takes to get em done. A little off topic here guys but I'm sure everyone would be interested, I'm not sure if you all follow Nikes (I'm a reseller, I'm neck deep in Nikes) and I have a pretty good connect at nike. My guy said (wasn't 100%) he has heard rumors of a Kobe 9 mag colorway, if it's true, I need them! I'll post a Kobe 9 for reference. Let's keep our fingers crossed.
