ComfortGel boil and cool (customizing)?

Post by canuck88 » Mon Jan 29, 2007 4:34 pm

Just wondering if anyone has done the customizing procedure with the comfortgel? In stock form it fits me okay, with no realy leaks... but I can't help but feel it'll fit better if I customize it a bit... at the same time I don't want to muck it up.

Did you boil/cool/shape the comfortgel, and if so - how did it turn out?

I did it and it worked well for me. The reason I did it was because I was getting a lot of leaks around my mustache. If you go this route be careful not to overtighten the mask while it is cooling.

when i used it i tried the boil and fit and it failed miserably, if you don't have a good fit then try it, if it sucks then boil it again and let it go back to it's stock form, but if you get a good seal and it's comfy then leave it alone, my .02
