Blade care tips First and most importantly, dry your blades. Any time you are done skating get the steel as dry as you can with a towel and put them in terrycloth blade guards. This is the only way you should ever store your skates, in terrycloth. Terrycloth guards will wick the moisture away from the steel. Plastic blade covers are for walking in, not storage. Any moisture left on the blade gets trapped by plastic guards further promoting rust. While these are highly recommended for walking in, they should never be used for storing skates. Once blades start to rust, there is often no stopping it until the steel resembles dirty, metallic Swiss cheese. No matter how many times you sharpen a blade penetrated by rust, it will be rusty. This gives the blades a much slower glide. The rust actually sticks to the ice until it gets good and wet. If you do get rust on your blades, you will need to have them sharpened and the sides of the blades stoned as soon as you can. If you catch it quickly, sometimes you can grind it off before it gets too deep in the blades. |
