Definitely look better! Would love to see a "durability" update in the future.
Thanks. I like the look too. I will do a durability update. I have played in them probably 6-8 times so far and they are holding up great.
Hey Maria. I'm going to give you the game changer. Cover the area of the pad with masking tape. Then trace with a sharpie. Remove the tape. Put it on the pad wrap and cut. No bs tracing paper. Consider this tip partial payment for the butterfly challenge.
Okay - great tip - - I know exactly what you mean - that is a great idea! Thank you!
I use the blue painters tape too but before I cut the skin I put the tape on cereal box cardboard and cut the shape from the cardboard. Makes it more sturdier to trace onto the skin at that point and then you can save the cardboard template for later use
Excuse the long post, but I've done this multiple times on my son's pads and gloves as he went from one team to another over the years since PeeWee. Just FORGET THE TRACING PAPER. it's flimsy and doesn't follow curves well. Your secret weapon is MASKING TAPE. Get both wide and narrow rolls depending on the shapes you'll need. Apply the masking tape to the area you want to cover, overlapping the edges. Now trace the borders onto the tape. Peel the tape off carefully and apply it directly to the surface of the pad wrap. Now you have an outline that won't shift around.
Cut around the edges, but leave just a little extra. Now fit the piece to where you will eventually apply it without removing the backing. You can use the tape to mark where you need to trim more. Keep fitting and trimming patiently. If you are going to the edge of a glove or pad, leave a "tail" that you can trim off last so you don't come up short.
The other advantage to this method is that you can make location marks on the tape to line the pad wrap up exactly as you apply it, especially useful for long strips or curves. Stick some tape on the pad itself to make a corresponding mark, or use a landmark like a seam to line it up. This way you can also start applying from the middle of the wrap. I make a careful slice there just in the backing paper and bend the two ends back. You can now smooth it from the middle towards each end, pulling the backing off from underneath and keeping it lined up with the marks you made. This way it won't turn out crooked or too short on one end. Lastly, if you can make it just a touch wider so that you can just tuck the edge under a seam or into a fold, it will help keep the edge from lifting. I use a small spoon or dull butter knife.
Pro tip: need to apply the wrap where there are those thick nylon stitches above the surface? Mark those on the tape too. Double check the location when fitting the piece, then punch a small hole at each end and make a slice between them, like a small dumbbell shape. When you put on the wrap the holes will correspond to where the stitches go into the pad, and you can tuck the little flaps underneath so the thread sits on top of your wrap job.
Smooth it all down really well, then carefully peel off the masking tape once you are done rubbing it. Hit it with the hairdryer and smooth again while you are warming it, running the back of that little spoon around those edges to seal them, then let the pads sit for at least a day for the adhesive to set.
I've had the wrap jobs routinely last for 60+ game seasons of high level travel and prep school hockey in addition to summer tournaments and goalie training. For the most durable result keep it simple and follow the natural design of the pad sections, since trying to cover over multiple seams and raised sections is possible but tends to come loose easily.
My son is now playing college hockey and using custom gear, so I'm now out of a job. But it was a lot more fun to sit around and create our own designs, and I always felt like I was able to stick a few extra saves on his gear. Feel good, play good!
Yeah, that is great advice - thank you so much for sharing your experience to help us all look awesome out there. Great tips that I will for sure add to my technique. Thank you for your time!
Hey Greg! Have you used padskinz brand? If so, how was the durability? Thanks
Also, was the equipment sticky when you removed the wrap? Thanks
@@laflammechristophe4548 I've used both brands depending on availability. As I recall one might have been a little thinner and smoother (I think the Padskinz, but not certain) however I didn't run into any issues with adhesion or durability that I remember. Sometimes when you peel off a section after a long time the vinyl layer wants to come off leaving behind what's is essentially clear double sided tape. But if you pay attention you can catch that early and peel them both off together. Warming the area with a hair dryer will help soften the adhesive.
There are often some areas with a little gummy residue especially along the edges, but you can either rub them off with your finger into a little ball, or sometimes just a light touch with a little bit of remover like Goo Gone will clean it up. Just don't scrub the surface with it, and rinse the area afterwards.

@@gregsmith7818 thanks you so much, you seem like a real pro
They look way better...
Yes a duribility report will be needed cause I have thought about doing this as well...
Keep up the good work!!!
Thanks Andrew - I will post a durability update for sure... and I will keep up the good work too!
Looks great, Maria! Lime and black are always nice together.
Yeah - - I love that combo - even though they are super bright, I really like those lime/black Dallas Stars uni's too
You did a great job, Maria! You should be proud of yourself. 😉
Thanks so much Greg - I really appreciate that!
great job! ki thumbed it, keep it up! quick question i have a one inch tear on the inside lower knee roll on my ccm flex and on the front face of a blocker, can you recommend a water proof/ strong tacking duck tape type or repair tape ( i am sure i can find the color to match)???? thanks!
Thank you for your kind words! Hmmmm - - I don't know what would be good for repairing that, I don't have any experience with anything like that, so I don't want to give you bad advice. Sorry.
Hey I have not got pads but I’m thinking of doing the gladiators from the echl
Guess it's time to get some pads so you can make those pads look siiiick!
I have found to get better durability and adhesion, I clean the area that wrap is going on with a bit of alcohol then wipe off with a wet rag. Then I "sand" that surface with a magic eraser (can be bought as generic bulk sponges online). The magic eraser very slightly etches the surface, so slight you can't visually see it, but just a little extra for the adhesive to hang onto. Then wipe that off with a wet rag again and then a dry clean rag. Also if you can pick an area to wrap that is "recessed", meaning not the very last layer of jenpro that was sewn on then you can hide or tuck in your edge of pad wrap a bit and this will help with it peeling off. You can use something dull like a butter knife to help tuck it in next to a layer that is protruding. In time it will start to come loose anywhere there is an exposed edge. I have started trying to reattach loose wrap with clear acrylic silicone but I don't know the long term durability of that yet.
Awesome tips - - thank you so much for the help. That is great stuff!
they look awesome Coach!
Thanks Adrian!
I think it looks great too! I would consider maybe trying one of the small lines but that's just me. I would be totally interested if you had time for a durability update I have considered trying this stuff but have no idea about it so this was extremely helpful!
Yeah I might try every other one of those small slashes ... I will for sure let you know about the durability. Have a beauty day Ray!
Looks cool, I'll absolutely will try that once I receive my new pads :-)
Yeah, easy way to make them look custom or just switch up the look.
Why not practice on your old pads? That way you will be a pro with your new ones! 👍
Awesome job!
Thank you very much!
I love my padskinz. I know that you used a different company. I would add some green to the small chevrons. But that’s just me…lol.
Yeah, someone else suggested that and I think it's a good idea for sure. Stay tuned.
I did mine with duck tape and magic eraser for the shiny ! It's more durable that I'd think ! I don't play on ice just at hockey ball, but it's been almost two year !
I've seen some really good looking pads done with duct tape - awesome!
They look very good 👍
Thanks Michael!
Every tutorial I have watched seems to be produced by some big corporation and all the tools are handy and everything is bang bang 1 - 2 - 3 done perfectly. Yet when I do it, it never works out this way, I spend 25 minutes running around the house looking for a tool or tape. I absolutely loved it when you didn't have enough room on the table and just threw stuff on the floor to get it out of the way. Because that is how I do it. Most of the time clean up takes longer than building whatever project I am on.
Yeah... I definitely don't make it look as easy as those guys do... but hopefully it shows that even a not-so-precise person can get a pretty good result.
mine lasted about a season before the edges started to peel back. I used it as a patch over some scrapes as well as color adjustment and it did the job just fine.
That sounds pretty good to me if you get a full season out of them. Thanks b
Keeping wraps of any type as an accent only is smart. Doesn't draw too much attention to itself, and it's easier to keep it clean. Also, would recommend painter's tape vs tracing paper. 3M 2080 automotive wrap is also a lot cheaper, and you can hit it with a magic eraser to reduce the shine.
Great advice for both - thanks, I really appreciate it! The painter's tape is a great idea.
My son would say it's a good start but needs more green. In Sept we got a new custom chestie that's all green and we're working with Brown for a custom catcher that'll be all green.
Okay - maybe a little more green then :)
Looks good breaks them up some. You could try every other one of the short lines
That's a great idea. Paul had suggested doing them all and that seemed like too much fiddling for me - - but every other one I could handle - - I think. Ha ha.
Hey can you make a vid for new goalies I want to start playing but have never played goalie in my life
For sure I can Liam - - great idea. Here's a video I did for beginner adults, but it doesn't really matter your age - th-cam.com/video/suUC_BJ6CHk/w-d-xo.html
Any specific topics you would like me to cover?
@@goalietraining I don't really have a specific topic I've been playing forward for my entire life and haven't had much success so I wanna try something new but I don't know where to get started
Great job. They look better for sure. I recently discovered leather paint and painted my trapper and blocker to match my pads. Was thinking of padskins too. Please let us know how they hold up 😉
I will let you know how they hold up - the paint sounds interesting too - might be easier to get more precise.
@@goalietraining I've already had to re touch up the paint after 2 games
hmmmmmmm... so maybe not ideal
@@goalietraining probably not the best...it does look very nice but wears off quickly
Live and learn.
Think they suit your style and personality perfectly. Would love the durability update.
Thanks Joni - So far so good on the durability, but I will keep you posted.
Any update on durability please?! Thx
What does the Speed skin look like once it’s removed? I’m considering adding some accents to my new pads but I don’t wanna damage the speed skin if I choose to remove it.
I don't know, I've never removed mine. SpeedSkin is CCM's pad material on the sliding surfaces, so you would not be taking that off. I think you were probably just asking about removing the pad wrap.
Correct, just removing the pad wrap. I contacted wrapmypads and they’ve never used it on speed skin so they couldn’t comment.
Yes, durability update in the future please!
Okay - will do.
Best way is to use blue painters tape to trace the graphic. Put the tape on cereal box cardboard and cut that template out then use it on the skin
I find that very good. It looks more like you😉
ha ha - - somehow I know what you mean when you say that. ha ha
Sorry I’m late to the comments but where did you get these at?
I think you can order them from PadSkinz
@@goalietraining okay thank you for letting me know
where can i grab this padrap
Most hockey shops carry it. Or search for "Pad Wrap for goalies" or "PadSkinz" to find some online purchasing options.
Where can you get the wrap?
Just order it online or get it at your hockey shop. There are a few different brands. One is called "PadSkinz"
Durability update? Thanks for all your videos!!
It is still pretty good. I took them out on the pond last winter when it was VERY cold and the pad wrap cracked in quite a few places, but you don't see that unless you look close. From a distance they still look good, up close you can see some spots where it has been chipped or torn away at the edges... from making so many saves probably :)
@@goalietraining It sounds weird but I'm gonna try plastidip. Your way looks much easier to get done and faster, but the plastidip method lasts for years and it might be the last time I drop leg pads money on myself 🤣
@@vinnypistol I've worked with some goalies who have made some great looking pads with plastidip. Good luck with it!
Better!
Thanks!
Best way is to use blue painters tape to trace the graphic. Put the tape on cereal box cardboard and cut that template out then use it on the skin
I like that idea to use the cereal box - great idea!
@@goalietraining thanks! I’ve been doing this for years and I save the cardboard template of the graphics to make putting on fresh skin a lot easier and faster whenever necessary. Love your videos
