Sharpening figure Skating blades

Synthetic Ice Rinks Swiss High Quality August 29, 2013 – 00:45

Glice ® is the result of unlimited ambition of a multidisciplinary team of scientists and athletes. Glice ® successfully developed the technology of synthetic ice, thanks to the focus on the 5 key parameters that determine the quality of the synthetic ice skates:

Ultra Glide Technology TM

The formant ultrahigh molecular sliding Glice ® provides low friction coefficient industry synthetic ice. As a result, you not only feel the fastest slide on the ice, but also the additional benefit of reduced need for blade sharpening market synthetic ice.

Technology Response Identical to Real Ice TM

To provide a realistic experience of ice skating and ice hockey, the synthetic ice should respond in a similar manner to various movements, like true ice responds. Glyceryl ® is the only synthetic ice that reproduces the actual ice all forms of use.

Durability Ultra Molecular TM

The synthetic ice Glice ® is made with high density molecular structure which reduces to the maximum the sweeps. These results increase the durability of the material Glice ®, as well as maintain a clean look to the synthetic ice, which ends up requiring less cleaning.

Creases Embedded Technology TM

A unique manufacturing process allows us to incorporate the creases and markings directly into the material. Rather than painting, these markings are permanent and will not fade or wear off.

Ecological Zero Energy Technology TM

Glice ® is a green technology that reduces power consumption of ice rinks common zero. But Glice ® does not stop there. In addition to providing a substitution for the environmentally friendly ice agree other ecological benefits are:

1. Glice ® is produced with 100% non-toxic material
2. Glice ® uses natural gas in its manufacturing process, which reduces carbon dioxide
3. Glice ® is working closely with our logistics partner to reduce greenhouse gases
4. Glice ® is 100% recyclable when the material reaches the end of its useful life

Question on ice skate sizes and blade sharpening

Does anyone know how much it costs for blade sharpening on figure skates? Also, I have a pair of Jackson ladies skates, but there is no size stamped on them. I take a shoe size 7, and these skates fit me well - does anyone know what skate size that would be? I have read that skate sizes run about 2 sizes smaller than shoe sizes, depending on the brand. Thanks for any input!
