cwarnar Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Anyone used padwrap/padskins on Warrior gear? I got a killer deal on an All white RGT set and want to add some accent colours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coopaloop1234 Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 I'd assume it would be no different than any other pad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warrior has a special coating on their gear that causes spontaneous combustion if you place any kind of those items on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

motowngoalie Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 FWIW, I had a G2 glove with skinz on it. Applied fine and cleaned right off. I've never put it on their pads or blocker though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGoalNet Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 @cwarnar - after speaking with Pad Skinz, I would recommend them over Pad Wrap. They put some legit R&D into their product Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punisher Goalie Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 Hi - I'm new to this forum (been lurking for a while - its awesome!), but wanted to add to this. I tried to apply Padwrap to my R/GT Pro (classic version, all white) multiple times. I followed the directions EXACTLY, including using heat, and had a fairly simple design, just two vertical stripes. I LOVED my design and desperately wanted it to work, but the three times I tried it, after sticking for about five minutes, it all began "pulling up" on its own and simply would not adhere. To Padwrap's credit, I emailed them and they responded immediately, sent me full replacement rolls, and suggested that the pads might need to be washed down thoroughly with soap and water to remove oils. I tried it one more time and got the same result, so I've given up. On the plus side, my design was so minimal that I have a ton of the Padwrap left and I have now moved to E Flex IIIs, so I may try the Padwrap out on those pads. Haven't seen anyone post about Padwrap + Speedskin yet though... In sum - Padwrap's customer service is AMAZING and the product would have looked totally sick on my pads, but it just didn't work for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking of something similar just an accent color... I'm gonna email Padskinz and see if I can V2 "Swirls" for my RGT's (bottom only)... still my favorite graphic of all time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They might be able to print the stripes on a white piece. That would eliminate the overlap and might improve your peeling issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking to try PadSkinz on my E Flex IIIs, just having trouble coming up with a design I like (the vertical stripes wouldn't really work). Per PadSkinz website - and I also emailed them directly to ask - their product works on SpeedSkin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bummer it wouldn't adhere properly. Hope you enjoyed your time using R/GTs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bunnyman666 Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 I have had mixed results with padskinz and padwraps. My solution is to change them out when they start curling. The adverts get too many puckmarks, any way to be permanently placed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punisher Goalie Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 I am testing some options on my Brian’s SZ3s. So far, gaffers tape and duct tape work best. Duct tape looks great once you buff it with a Magic Eraser. Gaffers tape simulates nylon/cloth really well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunnyman666 Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 Gaffer’s tape will come off pretty easily; MUCH easier than duct tape, for certain! My audio cables stay clean with Gaffer’s tape; it always seemed that some bone head would buy duct tape thinking it’s the same as Gaffer’s tape (d’oh!).

Well I agree gaffers comes off cleanly, but so far I’m really happy with how strongly it’s holding up on the pads. I’ll try to get some pics up soon.

Punisher Goalie Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 Just wanted to add some subtle color. Team colors are Bruins (see logo in avatar). Got some inexpensive duct tape in the right color yellow so gave it a shot: Think they go pretty well with the custom CCM 500s I just got (someone else’s custom order but happened to be my specs and colors): This tape starts out shiny but you can easily make it matte with a Magic Eraser. Still trying to decide if I want to do that. Gloves next! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punisher Goalie Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 Just a quick update - the duct tape held up great in the house but failed almost immediately on the ice lol. Idk if it was the temperature, the flexing of the material, moisture from the ice, or something else, but it just didn’t work. Pulled it off right away. Oh well, inexpensive way to experiment with color. May try it with the Pad Wrap I have next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doobiesnax Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 New team, new colors (Bruins)! I cant believe how much easier straight lines are to do than shitty tribal curves using Padskinz.... Very impressed how well the wrap turned out. Backup cage ges in for powder coating today.... Old school Moog Bruins wrap next week! Before...

Flyers27 Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 Those look good. Someone earlier in the thread mentioned putting Padskins on eFlex 3's. I put some small strips on my 3.9s and they did not wear well. The edges quickly peeled up and they have now shredded where pucks made contact. I'm guessing it doesn't adhere as well to speedskin, as they have specific application instructions for it, but they didn't work for me. Going to take it off today.

I made sure to tuck the skinz under the small bit of overlap of the black jenpro and any seam i could. We will see if they hold up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
