Frustration

Posted on July 21, 2015 by customboots

I almost finished this pair too, but the last is stuck in there. I sprayed water down in the boot under the last. The pegs will swell up and become brittle as they dry. Sometimes that makes pulling the last easier. If that doesn’t work I’ll have to thread a cable through the last to pull it out.

    Don’t cha hated when that happens!? I have found myself making up new curse words when I have a stuck last. And I don’t curse!
