All I know was those plastic (nylon) teeth used to shear off rather 
regularly in the good ole days. Surely there is something better available 
now. Otherwise, you and Richard are probably right enough to not even try 
and/or get your skates to go to the lake when temperature above/about 30 or 
so for long period of time.
