Rubber filler (works same as wood filler for wood)
I am making a pair of shoes but I don't like the "SneakerKIt" impression in the back of the sole.
It's a little deep to sand down. Is there a rubber filler that can be used to make the area smooth?
You can try filling the logo in but I think that would just draw more attention to the area. You could try casting silicone or urethane. Those materials would allow you to get a hardness similar to the sole. Innersoles are often around Shore A 0 (zero) while the heals of many shoes are around Shore A 80 and the soles of sneakers around 70 so I'd start testing materials around 50-60 to see if that matches the sole.
I'm planning on building the swing set I mentioned in the other post. My current plan is to cut the 4x4s to have a 22.5 degree cut in them, putting the 4x6 between them, and putting a piece of 2x6 on either side of each A frame low enough so that the 4x6 is supported from the bottom, and then running 2-3 deck bolts into the 4x6 through the 4x4s and once the 4x6 is in place, attaching two hurricane ties between the 4x4s and the 4x6. Will that be strong enough?Read More
I built my son a swingset with some help I got here. I ordered some swing hangars:

However, one doesn't pivot freely. Probably 50% of the area of travel is restricted, beaning that while it does pivot, it is slow, like there's something blocking it. I don't see what is blocking it. Could someone suggest what to do about this? Read More
