I've had my C90 carbon fins with Pathos pockets for several years now. The blades are in great shape, but unfortunately the Pathos pockets aren't holding up as well. I thought about cutting the pocket out and scraping all the glue/residue off. Sanding the blade and re-installing new pockets. Has Dan or anyone done this successfully?
Did I do the installation?
Yes sir, you did the installation. I did have a tendon break loose a year ago and had to reglue
Just found your post Dan
When I would install in Pathos foot pockets I used a row of glue dots rather than a line, which allows relatively easy removal. In this case you can use a chisel (no hammer) to wedge between the rubber and blade and pry them apart carefully wherever they appear to be bonded.
If you applied more glue than that you'll probably have to cut the foot pocket off with a box cutter. Then remove the residue as best you can by slicing it close to the blade without catching the carbon. Then finish with sanding and acetone.
