I recently got the Verlinden interior set for the Tiger I, but some of the big parts were warped. I was reading here and there that a dip in hot water would sraighten them out, so I tried it, but it didn't work well enough.
I thought maybe boiling water would help--warped one part even worse.
I thought since I already had water boiling, why not try the steam.
This worked great, so I though I'd share my idea here.
First I boiled some water in my teapot. I left the spout open so the steam could escape in a controlled manner.
I then held the warped part in the steam for a few seconds (until it started to bend)
I placed the part on a piece of glass, then took two ice cubes and pressed down on the part with the ice.
The ice rapidly cooled the part, making it hold its new straight shape. I help the ice on the part for about a minute or so.
This idea probably isn't new, but I haven't worked with resin that much, so it's new to me. Maybe it will help someone else, too.
I think I covered it all, if you have any questions, I will try to clarify for you.
