DIY hockey helmet repair

Everything, someday falls into disrepair, hockey uniforms are no exception.

Let's try to figure out what can be done with hockey ammunition, which has already served you faithfully for several years.

We have several options - to hand over our hockey kit in Moscow to the commission department of the Ice Arena store, give it to friends, just throw it away or try to reanimate our hockey equipment on our own.

Let's start with the head. Hockey helmet.

Most often, buttons on the strap, adjusting screws and appearance deteriorate in this item of equipment. With the appearance, almost nothing can be done. Your helmet is either already covered in scratches, or "still handsome". The appearance of the helmet will last longer if stored in any soft bag between battles. And if there is also a visor, even more so.

With bolts and straps, it's easier. Bolts that are sour or rusted are simply replaced with new ones. Repair kits are almost always available at any hockey store. With straps, the same picture. The button on the clasp is out of order, the repairman will put a new one. Well, if replacement is not possible, go ahead for a repair kit.

Last but not least, hockey helmets. Any helmet is periodically recommended to be disinfected or simply wash. Microbes and the smell of health do not add. Therefore, the picture, when in the locker room, the player goes to the shower without taking off his helmet, is not such a rarity ...

Hockey bib and hockey elbow pads.

The plastic cups of the shoulder pads that protect the collarbone or the elbow pads that protect the elbows rarely fail. The main problems with these parts of a used hockey uniform arise from stretched rubber fixing straps or from broken Velcro. We find new "spare parts", take a needle and thread in our hands and change it. With your own hands. Cheap and cheerful! We could not change it ourselves, forward to the next "clothing repair".

Methods for dealing with unpleasant odors are varied and well known. Timely drying and airing, the main weapon in the fight against "stinkers". If you still smell, try washing your hockey gear with regular detergent. And dry well. If there is a physical and financial opportunity to give your equipment to a specialized dry cleaner or laundry, do it boldly. The smell will be defeated.

The most important part of a hockey player's outfit. It is she who, more often than all other parts of the form, takes the blows. A direct hit from a puck fired with great force can severely ruin the integrity of your favorite shin guards. Cracked plastic parts, almost impossible to fix. Of course, you can mend a crack or put a patch, but all these measures are short-lived ...

Other problems of used shields that can and should be dealt with, the fight against stretched elastic bands, Velcro, and smell are described above.

Without them, nowhere. Even if you are going to chase the puck in the yard, it is better to take care of the safety of your hands and put on this piece of protection.

The main weak point of used hockey gloves, palms. The first thing that people pay attention to when purchasing played leggings is they. Rubbed on your loved ones or bought used ones with holes in the palms, it doesn't matter.Look in some "shoe repair" and put patches on holes with holes or ask to change palms entirely. Offers for the sale of new hockey palms on the Internet are quite common.

The second common problem with commissioned hockey gloves is smell.

The fight method is simple. Played, dried. If there is a smell in your leggings, wash or dry cleaning.

This is a hockey uniform, which, if desired, can also be given a rebirth. The buttons for attaching the suspenders rotted and fell off? Sew on new ones. The zipper on the inside of the shorts, which made them wider, has ceased to be fastened? Visit "clothing repair" and insert a new one. Even through holes on your shorts can be patched up or you can buy hockey shorts covers separately. They will look like new!

The hardest, most expensive and most durable piece of hockey equipment. Skates, goggles, horses. The vast majority of hockey players treat them with special trepidation and attention. The more closely you monitor new and used skates, the longer they will serve you faithfully. They must be dried after each skiing, stored and moved outside the ice in covers. These actions, as well as replacing the laces, can be done independently. But, sometimes problems arise with skates that only a specialist can eliminate. Work on replacing cracked "glasses", "pieces of iron", rivets, eyelets are subject only to the hands of the master. Of course, it is much better if there is a hockey store near you. Buy the necessary new or "live, used" spare parts there and change them there. If you are far from such a store, then you can use the Internet to purchase broken parts of the skate, and you can carry out the repair itself in any "shoe repair".

In conclusion, let's summarize.

Anything, including hockey equipment, requires proper care and attention.

The used form, in which you have been playing for a long time or which you have just acquired, will serve for a long period if it is properly looked after, stored, repaired.

Greetings to dear readers. I think it's not a secret for anyone that today you and I live in the era of the consumer economy, when the service life of almost all goods and the durability of materials is decreasing every year, and design and marketing come out on top. Interestingly, the starting point of this process can be considered as early as 1924, when, as a result of the collusion of the largest manufacturers of incandescent lamps, the service life of the lamps produced decreased significantly.
But I don't want to bump into memories of the times when the grass was greener, but I want to share my ideas and hear about your experience in repairing and restoring skates and hockey equipment and other hand-made products.

At the moment, from my experience, one of the most short-lived places of most skates is the area of ​​contact of the tongue with the boot, where solid holes are rubbed during the season, often up to thermal foam.

To fix this problem, I used the solution that manufacturers offer in their top models, for example Bauer Vapor 1x and Supreme 1s:

This is how skates look after "repair"

Replacing the palms of the leggings, I believe, is a well-known option, and there is no need to further describe it. Although, of course, I would note that the replacement of palms can be delayed and the life of the gloves can be prolonged by sewing up the hole in time and soaking it a little with superglue:

I also faced the fact that over time the leggings began to sit too loosely on the arm, as if they were stretched, and comparing them with the new ones, I realized that the inner lining of foam rubber (on the outside of the hand), my leggings were almost completely wiped off and spilled out. Having cut this pocket a little, I put new foam rubber in it and the excess space inside the glove was gone.

I also tried to restore the cracked cups near the shields - I glued and melted, to be honest, without much success, after a while they cracked again, but perhaps these are my flaws.)

While this is all that I remembered, supplement and share your experience in the comments, I will be grateful for your feedback.

In the heat of hockey battles, an athlete's equipment suffers from collisions, falls, and experiences blows from a flying puck and opponents' sticks. The systematic use of gaiters leads to the rapid appearance of holes in the area of ​​the palms, and the protective plates wear out. The clubs break so often that you have to buy them almost every month.

Buying a new form to replace a leaky one is not the only way out of the situation. Repair of sports ammunition is included in the list of services of our company.

Good day! :) Finally, I got around to creating this blog dedicated to the final stage of the motorcycle helmet repair.

Link to the first part:

And now what has been done:

I started by restoring Nanosnik using ordinary Kazan sealant. I just glued the broken off parts and brought out the shape a little:

Then he removed all the patterns from the old helmet liner, cut them out of the new fabric, and sewed them together. The fabric has acquired quite soft, pleasant to the skin of the face. And then he covered the chin guard with new fabric:

Next, the lining of the absorbing layer of the helmet was sewn. I had to steam up a little with her, sew by hand, with a needle :) But in the end everything turned out pretty well:

As a result, I got something frightening look and myself :)

Then I had to work a little with a file :) the straps of the helmet were kept on rivets (and I did not find such as there were), a pair of bolts with a sweat and an even head were purchased (from the fastening of the bumper "kopeck" chtoli :)).

As a result, I had to make of round hole :

As a result, the bolt entered the hole as it should:

Further all the inner parts of the helmet were shoved back into the helmet shell:

Then the straps were screwed on.

At the end of the helmet repair, it's time to make a transparent glass from scratched and scribbled glass. This was done with the help of "thousandth" sandpaper and abrasive paste (which is used when polishing scratches on the paintwork of cars), and of course hands :)

Polished in several stages. It took a couple of hours for sure.

As a result, I got absolutely transparent and scratch-free glass:

OK it's all over Now! The helmet is fully assembled :) And ready for the season :)

Hockey skates are an essential part of hockey equipment. The skates take on the maximum load exceeding the weight of the hockey player.
In addition, skates very often take on the puck hits. All this can damage the skates.
Top-level skates (professional) cost from $ 500. and higher. Unfortunately, even this does not insure the skates from damage.

The most common injuries to ice hockey skates include:
- damage to skate glasses (blade "holders")
- damage to skate blades
- damage to the skate boot

Damage to skate glasses
Skate cups are made of durable plastic. As you know, plastic tends to age over time, therefore, at one point, the glass of the skate simply bursts.
Damage to the skate glass is also very often caused by a direct hit of the washer into the glass.
Another reason for the glass breakage is direct contact of the skates with the skates of another player during the game.
In case of damage to the skate glasses, the only possible repair is to replace the skate glass with a new one.

The cost of replacing a glass is from 250 UAH per 1 piece. (excluding the cost of the glass) The price may differ, since there may be cases of violation of the integrity of the holes in the sole of the boot at the points of attachment of the old glass. The condition of these holes can only be assessed after removing the broken glass.

Skate blade damage
Skate blades are also the most stressed element of the skate and are subject to multiple extreme loads. Over time, the rigidity of the sole of a hockey boot is disturbed, namely, glasses with blades are riveted to it. As a result of the violation of rigidity, additional stresses arise in the blades, which very often leads to the fact that the blades break. In addition, repeated sharpening of the blades leads to a gradual decrease in the height of the blade, which also does not add to its strength.
Impact to breakage of the blade can also serve as a hit of the washer.

In this case, it is possible to replace the skate blade, which, in principle, will not be difficult to do on your own. Subject to availability of a new replacement blade.
If you do not have a new replacement blade, blade repair is possible.
The cost of welding the blade from 150 UAH per 1 piece.

Skate boot damage
Most often it is damage to the toe of the boot as a result of hitting the puck. Very often, such damage occurs when playing on lakes at a low air temperature of -15 - 20C. The plastic of the toe of the boot becomes brittle in the cold and bursts when the washer hits.

Even so, it is possible to repair your skates.
Boot restoration cost from 350 UAH

Bauer 4500, everything is generally good, but very little pressure in the cheekbones (in front of the ears). When I put it on, I have to "stretch" it a little to the sides, and in the put state I would like to be a little freer. The size is exactly mine, there it is literally a few millimeters. During the game, all this is not felt, but it is inconvenient to take off and put on, and I want everything to be as convenient as possible.
Can I heat it up and insert a spacer? Or nuegonafig, the helmet is not shields after all. Can it try without heating, for example, wrap it with tape in the longitudinal direction (it will then also become a little wider) and leave it for several hours / days? How much then?
Or heat and bend only these "ears". Place on the photo marked

Workshop Electrical Crafts Modeling Papier-mache Design Drawing and Painting Papier-mache Bra Hockey Goalkeeper Helmet Anaheim Mighty Ducks and San Jose Sharks Paper Cardboard Glue Paint Wire Scotch Tape

Hello dear masters and craftswomen! It's been a long time since I exhibited my works, because There are many of them and all are executed in parallel, but I don't want to show the semi-finished product. Today I want to show you a bra in the form of a goalkeeper hockey helmet. The helmets are made in full size and everyone who saw them thought they were real, because my son is engaged in hockey, though he is not a goalkeeper and his helmet is completely different. There are a lot of photos, in the comments to them I will tell you what and how. Well, enjoy your viewing!)))

It all started with ordinary cardboard, we cut out the necessary parts, did everything by eye, tried it on on my head, tk. I don't have a goalkeeper's helmet and I never held it in my hands, everything is according to the pictures.

Next comes the pasting with newspapers on pva "extra" glue, the best glue in my opinion, it instantly glues everything together, keeps the shape of the paper, greatly simplifies the work.

We soak the toilet paper, we will make papier-mâché.

For the mass I use PVA EXTRA and linseed oil, the dough is very tender and smooth after drying.

After the mass is ready, I recommend placing it in a bag and keeping it at room temperature for at least 20-30 minutes and you can start sculpting.

The very process of applying the mass of papier-mâché to the future product.

A little closer. Here you can see how evenly the mass is distributed.

So our blank has dried up.

Now I putty it and send it back to dry.

The putty dries quickly enough, applied it in the evening, already sanded it in the morning.

We start making a mask, for this we need a wire (I have aluminum), wire cutters, platypuses, thermal glue and metallized tape to imitate a real metal mask.

We bend the wire along the contour of the helmet and connect it.

Next, we cut the parts to the desired length.

We glue everything with scotch tape (metallized)

Here's what happened in the end.

For comparison, a photo of a natural helmet.

These are the helmets for the Anaheim Mighty Ducks and San Jose Sharks hockey teams. Unfortunately, the pictures with the painting process have fabulously disappeared somewhere. But there is nothing tricky here, acrylic paints, brushes and spray varnish.

The mask was fastened with ordinary screws. Well, the spot is clearly visible here.

This is how you can make exclusive things with your own hands that no one has and you cannot make an exact copy.

Thanks for stopping by!

Until next time!

Cool

Thanks!

Blimey! Great job !!

Thanks!

Wow, at first I thought that mk was for making a bra from a hockey helmet))) and then it turns out that the helmet was made by hand, bravo!

Many thanks!

Just unbelieveble! How could you possibly have guessed to make a helmet?

Anya, can you share the proportions of making papier-mâché

Many thanks! We just decided to make the room in a hockey style, painted the walls and the question arose, what kind of lamps to hang here, the idea arose to make helmets. My husband approved of this idea, but it did not fit in his head how I would do it. In the end, everything seemed to work out))). Natalya, I can't tell you about the proportions, I always do everything by eye. I pour boiling water over the paper, then knead it with my hands, squeeze it out, but not hard and start adding glue until the mass becomes viscous (sticky) and starts to hold the shape given to it, pour oil about 1 tbsp. spoon on two rolls of paper (it gives plasticity, namely linseed), then for half an hour in a bag, it seems to reach there and becomes more plastic.

Yes. you are just a storehouse of ideas! Thanks for the papier-mâché recipe.

beauty, where to send leggings for repairs?

Dima, you may not have understood me. I understood how to sew two parts using an overlock, but how? The pad itself is flat, and the surface of the two stitched parts is wavy, and on your roller it is only shown how you try on the pad to the palm of your hand. The part of the lining that you are trying on is easier to sew, and when you sew on the opposite part, problems arise.

It looks like we are talking about the same thing, but in a different language and therefore do not understand each other.
I only know one thing, if something goes wrong, the waves are distorted, it's not in the hands and typewriters, but in a low-quality cut. If the cut is correct, then the assembly order is lame. There is a video on the channel and with this, see, it may be useful.

I live in Crimea. Disabled person. Independently, from A to Z, I learned to sew gloves from leather, fabric, etc. etc. I sew with my hands .. As the Crimea became part of Russia, we had several hockey teams. In short, I'm repairing gloves. Manually. In place of the old palms, I sew standard ready-made ones. It turns out well. But of course, it takes 4 days or more. The main problem of ready-made palms is the length of the cutout between the fingers, but I also solved this problem. Dima, I have a question. I bought a ready-made palm, ripped it open, made a pattern, cut it out. Sewn two halves. It's relatively simple, But when you sew two parts of the palm, they become not flat, but convex, and how to properly sew a flat overlay on the convex part of the palm. I get a lot of folds and this despite the fact that I sew by hand?

If there are many folds, then the patterns do not fit and need to be refined. In principle, most gloves come from two or three manufacturers, it is easier to tinker and make used exultation easier than suffering every time.
We don’t work with ready-made palms in principle, and the price for them is 1000r and the finished work is 1800r together with our material.
4 days with a couple?
It is too long.

Repair Motorcycle helmets: which to choose, how to choose the size, make repairs, as well as advice on care equipment

Outside, it still looks more or less, only the glass has slightly scratched the varnish. But inside, everything is much worse: The chin protector is made of foam, therefore fragile, a couple of pieces were kept inside on the fabric :)

Delee removed the upholstery sidewalls. I don’t know what they went through, I probably should have shaved more often :)

Then he pulled out the absorbing layer. And I saw the horror - the upholstery was glued to it with tape! Miracle design :)

The entire foam rubber layer of the fabric was crumbling; it will also have to be changed.

At the moment there is a search for a suitable fabric, perhaps I will find something unusual, and not as black as it was.

The fabric was bought for 100 rubles :) The truth is not what I wanted, but everything will go :)

I started by restoring Nanosnik using ordinary Kazan sealant. I just glued the broken off parts and brought out the shape a little:

Then he removed all the patterns from the old helmet liner, cut them out of the new fabric, and sewed them together. The fabric has acquired quite soft, pleasant to the skin of the face. And then he covered the chin guard with new fabric.

Next, the lining of the absorbing layer of the helmet was sewn. I had to steam up a little with her, sew by hand, with a needle :) But in the end everything turned out pretty well:

Then I had to work a little with a file :) the straps of the helmet were kept on rivets (and I did not find such as there were), a pair of bolts with a sweat and an even head were purchased (from the fastening of the bumper "kopeck" or something :)).

As a result, I had to make a square out of a round hole.

As a result, the bolt entered the hole as it should.

Then all the inner parts of the helmet were tucked back into the helmet shell.

Then the straps were screwed on.

At the end of the helmet repair, it's time to make a transparent glass from scratched and scribbled glass. This was done using "thousandth" sandpaper and abrasive paste (which is used when polishing scratches on the paintwork of cars)

Polished in several stages. It took a couple of hours for sure.

As a result, I got absolutely transparent and scratch-free glass.

OK it's all over Now! The helmet is fully assembled :) And ready for the season :)

My son is passionate about hockey, and for more motivation to win, I decided to transform his room in a sporty style.

I printed out the pictures of the goalkeeper's helmet. I cut out the details of the product from cardboard (I did everything by eye, tried it on my head so that the finished helmet turned out to be full size). I connected the cardboard blanks with a stapler (photo 1). I pasted over the helmet with newspapers using Extra PVA glue (photo 2)

To obtain a mass, papier-mâché dissolved toilet paper in PVA glue with the addition of a small amount of linseed oil (with such an additive, the mixture turns out to be delicate, plastic and smooth).

I applied the prepared mixture to the helmet, dried it at room temperature. I plastered the product and dried it again for 12 hours. Then I sanded it with sandpaper (photo 3).

To create a protective mask, I cut an aluminum wire with pliers, bent it with round-nose pliers. She pasted over each part with metallized tape and assembled a mask from the blanks, fixing the parts with a thermal gun (photo 4).

I screwed the mask to the helmet with self-tapping screws (photo 5). I installed a spot inside the product (a point directional lamp), brought out the wires from the back. I painted the helmet with acrylic paints and covered it with three coats of glossy acrylic varnish from a balloon.

I put the finished papier-mâché in a plastic bag for 20-30 minutes. at room temperature, and only after that began to work with the mass.

I cut out four circles d 32 cm from drywall. I drilled a hole in all the blanks to output the hands of the clockwork. To insert it inside the structure, in three circles

cut a notch to fit the mechanism.

I glued all the blanks with PVA glue and additionally fixed them with self-tapping screws (photo 6).

A real washer has a pattern on the side.

I cut similar notches along the end of the workpiece with a clerical knife (photo 7).

I primed the product with PVA glue.

Using a roller, I painted the base of the watch white and the ends black with acrylic paint.

On the front side of the future watch, I pasted a circle of masking tape, cut out letters on it with a clerical knife.

With a pencil, I drew the head of a duckling (a symbol of a hockey club). I painted the free space around with green paint using a sponge (photo 8).

I painted the letters in purple.

She peeled off the adhesive tape. I painted small details with a thin brush.

I cut out arrows in the form of clubs from thick paper, glued them onto ordinary arrows. Installed the clockwork (photo 9).

I have been actively riding for a long time and I can say the following on helmets:

1. If you want to restore the helmet - restore it, put it on the shelf and admire it.

2. A helmet is a personal hygiene item. Buy a used helmet, how to buy a used condom. Like - I only put it on (condom). Each person has their own unique scent. So, this smell will be for a very long time, if not always accompany you in the helmet. Sniff other people's sweats.

3. Any helmet, even a super firm helmet, if you actively ride in it, lasts 2 years. Then in the trash can it.

4. If the helmet fell, or you fell in it - definitely, immediately go to the trash heap.

5. The helmet should fit snugly enough, but no pressure anywhere. You shouldn't feel it at all.

6. Pay attention to the visor rubber bands. Should be soft and snug when closed. In any downpour, water should not seep under the visor.

7. Clasp. Buttons or plastic latches, beware. Only an iron latch.

8. The insides should be unfastened with buttons.

9. Chinese, in the expensive segment of prices, may turn out to be much better than the cheap segment of famous brands.

10. Buy a helmet according to your capabilities. It is foolish to have the means to buy cheap stuff.
