Step 2 Extracting Rubber from a Shoe

You're going to need an approximately 2-3 inch by 1 cm piece of rubber. I had no idea how to approach this step, so i went ahead and grabbed the dremel and cut into the rubber. This is where i got some problems. The rubber melted and the dremel wasn't long enoguh to cut the rubber sole all the way through. So i went and got an old knife no one uses (you might mess up your knife unless you can somehow get the rubber off) and tried cutting it, but it was quite difficult. So i grabbed the tea candle and heated up the knife and it cut the sole like butter...hard butter. But it went in easily nonetheless.

Naturally, being the semi-pyro i am, i ended up playing wiht the wax and a bunch of matches and afterward realized i just burned a big spot into my dad's work table. Woops.

After that, i extraced the rubber then cut it up to a good size.
