I have Dynafit zzero 4 C-TF’s, looking for suggestions of which intuition liners to buy to swap out the stock liners. thought please? Thanks!

Clyde, indeed yes, I made a blower out of some hose and a fairly high-end heat gun, but I couldn’t get the temperature to regulate enough to be safe. I check all liner heating with an infrared thermometer.

I’ve not had any problems baking liners of all sorts, I’m just more careful with temperature and time. Have found the blower to be less than ideal as it sometimes doesn’t seem to heat the liner hot enough, nor heat the cuff area enough.

I was going to buy a blower last year, then discovered I could keep baking so I saved some big bucks that way.

Lou, have you done any experimenting with a DIY boot blower? Don’t think a Titan liner would do well in an oven. And even Radium/Prophet liners may not be such a good idea.

BTW Paul says the Garmont liners are made in Italy and they only license a patent from Palau.

Tom, welllll, it’s just a comparison of those two liners so in that sense it’s fair, and perhaps actually makes your point? But yeah, overlap to overlap would be a more apples to apples in terms of being exact.

Lou,

I’m not sure this was a fair comparison. You have liners from two different manufacturers, but also two different styles. My experience has been that overlap liners tend to be stiffer. Liners with tongues make for easier fore/aft flexing.

Maybe Palau could send you a new pair of ALPINE OVERLAP HARD liners? Those would be a fair comparison to the Intuition overlaps.
