I love you man
The old magic 197°F just worked beautifully
Before
After
Alright the process:
1. Brought water to a 197*F boil
2. Dropped shoulder strap into pot for about 5 seconds
3. Took strap out and slowly formed arch
- abs was hot to touch but not burning (still recommend gloves to err on safety side)
4. Repeat process till desired form was achieved
