^Crepe Flambe?

^ Bien sûr.

Perhaps I'll edit it a bit and add some pics? I have a pair of Dessies coming my way that may need the treatment.

What a great post. I'm liking this!

Well, as per the post in Qualities of Crepe, am gonna have to try this!

Maybe a mix of the oven and the hot knife technique inside the cracks could cure them? Worth a go. I'm just not sure that Trickers have the ability to rebuild those goodyear welted playboy soles these days. We'll see.

^ Yeah mine's a gas oven. I was being careful in that tutorial, I have tried more heat myself with good results. Just be careful not to toast the leather.

Thank you for the tip, 66.  We've got one of these fan ovens that just about takes your head off at high temperatures.

tinfoil i dont think would be a particularly good heat shield. conducts the heat too much. might even be counterproductive. the best heat shield ive found, as good as industrial ones or better, is drywall (dunno what its called there. plasterboard? wallboard?) Just dont cook the gypsum dust into the sole.

im shocked this hasnt been on the inane post of the day at least once.
