GoalieNut Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 Does anyone know which 3M tape Miklin uses on their pads? Apparently they use it on the knee and calf landing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.YOUNGoalie13 Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 3m tape would usually be sticky, because it’s tape? Not sure how that would cause sliding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typically, a polyurethane tape similar to that used to protect the body and headlights of a car from stones is used. quite popular mod in Russia, especially among non-professionals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose on request "3m polyurethane film for a car" you can find an acceptable option. there is still no exact data on the thickness and type used by Miklin. although you can try writing to him directly. maybe answer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did not own it myself, but judging by the reviews, it is a very decent gear. all materials used are the same or the same manufacturers as those used by North American gear manufacturers. there is an English-language overview of their products on YouTube Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raidersgoalie Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 Would a layer of tape . I guess a clear tape. Say gorilla tape, then a layer of shoe goo. It seems to harden and be very tough to wear. Had it on a repair on a shoe. Lasted long. The tape under the goo would help protect the pad if things dont work out. Just peel it off.

Shoe Goo dries to a rubbery blob. You would not want that anywhere near your pads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shoe goo over the slippery tape would defeat the purpose of putting the tape there in the first place Shoe goo under the slippery tape would create uneven edges, causing the tape to wear through quicker 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raidersgoalie Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 Or any kind of tape. Just to protect the pad if things dont go as planned. Any tape on the the sliding surface or just the knee landing area then the shoe goo on top of the tape. Just a thought if it would work.

Chenner29 Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 There seems to be some disconnect here The tape in question is being used on the sliding surface of the pad to enhance the slide Putting Shoe Goo over that is going to negate any benefit of the tape 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ Boiss Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 Shoe Goo works great on shoes precisely because it has a high friction coefficient. A high friction coefficient is the exact thing you want to avoid on the sliding surface of your pads. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
