I recently sent out to have my shoes re-lined and i unexpectedly received the non woven type shoes. When I took the shoes to get arched the guy at the counter told me to expect the drum and shoe to glaze. Has anyone experienced this with this type of shoe ?

Glazing is NORMAL, on ALL brakes.

Well that makes me feel a little better. The brake guy made it sound like the woven brakes shoes don't glaze and glazing means the shoes and drums are ruined. I don't have much experience with brake shoes and I guess I've never payed attention when I've changed out pads on my newer cars.

It's VERY apparent that the Guy hadn't spent YEARS as a mechanic, repairing BROKEN cars! Woven linings glaze over also.

A bit of corse sandpaper is a glaze breaker. Don't breath the dust!

Thanks For the info. I almost thought maybe I should scrap those bonded linings and get the woven but if they do the same then I'll just stick with what I got. I'll keep some sandpaper put away just for that purpose.
