Applied some to my Sportmask Pro 3i

Applying Cage Skinz

Do you heat that up to get out the bubbles? Is it permanent or temporary? What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?

No, I did not use heat at all. It is both!

It's meant to be somewhat temporary when NHL guys get traded, but there's no reason it cannot last if you didn't take it off. The Vinyl is very heavy duty.

It's literally the same concept as Pad Skinz. Could be temporary or could be left in place.

You didn't answer whether or not it was African or European. Pretty sure you lose points on that one. 

Glad this thread popped up. I was looking at ways to design my flat white mask to match my new pad purchase. Painting companies were looking for $600+ to paint it black and add a few green lines (ridiculous).

You don't lose points at the Bridge of Death.  You get cast into the Gorge of Eternal Peril.  Jeez.

For the green lines... head to Ukrainian Tire and get some Pin Striping tape for cars.  It works really well for adding a few lines.

Thanks. I don't need to add too much to my mask, just small details.

You could buy a pinstriping kit, paint your lid with bedliner sauce, get out your pinstriping kit with your HOK lime green, then charge others to duplicate your handiwork.

If he would have asked, I would have been cast into the gorge, as I don’t know!

My face when I see what this thread has turned into

[motowngoalie]

My opinion of course, but I don't understand the appeal of this product.

There's other companies that are doing better versions of vinyl decals at literally half the cost, and you aren't limited to one template (Custom Cages). 

Assuming "custom" is more than the $99.99 CAD listed for a stock USA/CA kit on their site, a full custom wrap can be had from JF Aumais for $180 CAD.

Contact Derrick Gilders at Gilders Designs. His basic paint jobs cost around 300-400$

Appreciate it but I'm not looking to ship my mask to get painted. I'll probably be a cheap ass and just do the vinyl route.

Love the jersey from the Goalie Crease.  Rod Laforme drew that logo and gave me (and my son) a hat with the logo on one of my trips to the store many years ago.  I miss that guy a lot.  He was a great guy who was the definition of customer service.

I knew Rod for a long time. He is dearly missed in the industry big time. Was always a treat to order new gear through or just go there and talk gear with him.

The reason Custom Cages is so cheap is that the print quality is garbage, and the material quality is even worse garbage. I've had two Custom Cages kits installed by a sign shop in town, and even they can't get it looking smooth and neat. The print is low resolution and fades easily. The material on Cage Skinz is nice, with air channels to help getting rid of bubbles easily and it also more elastic to let you stretch it over the awkward curves on a goalie mask. For $40 more than Custom Cages, you're getting a much nicer looking, easier to install, and more durable finished product.

I definitely noticed how easily small bubbles disappeared. This material is top notch.

Thanks for this!  I want to make sure it looks great and stays great for as long as possible.

I am planning on getting a skin for my Protechsport mask that's coming in 10 months.

Check out my design!!  I used three of my sister's paintings to make it.  So stoked!!!

Sweet design! I had Michel from Protechsport ship my mask to JF Aumais to wrap after he completed it. It worked great as they're both in the Montreal area.
