RKM PU Top Pin Diameters
Just a bit loose
Hammer pin flat - if it almost fits
Really Loose
To take up a bit more room use a flexi tube, they are in the 8 or 10mm RKM bin. Push the flexitube right in then atom and hammer in the PU TOP
FAQ
If PU Top pin is to big and the small ones are to small what do you do?
Grind the standard one on the cone to fit tight, or if closer to 2.2mm. Hammer pin flat - if 2.2mm almost fits.
No PU tops left
Use Vulcotop and drill 3.5mm hole and put a cheese head pin thru.
If stilleto tube comes out with pin stuck in do you just replace the tube with a new one?Remove pin by holding tube in vice, or just flip tube upside down and reuse
If you get polish or paint on Caramel heeling, re heel trim very lightly.

What it should look like MPS
- Should take less than 10min
- Heel shape should generally follow the flow of the heel block
- Both heels should look the same
- No burrs
- Shoe should sit nicely with heel flat, a 1mm gap under back edge is ok, but not under front edge
