Christian Dunham[TK] Posted May 31, 2020 Report Share Posted May 31, 2020 I had to recently do a hot water bath on my Cod and chest piece because im a pretty skinny guy but in doing so the chest piece warped a tad... any suggestions?

gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted May 31, 2020 Report Share Posted May 31, 2020 I've seen a few people how have scaled down the chest and needed a new return edge make a plug, a wooden piece cut to the curve of the chest and held it behind then use more heat and mold to it. The problem with heating ABS is that it can revert to it's natural state the more heat you use, especially when not using a mold. Using a small block of wood to hold on the other side too is a good idea to help push onto the mold Here is Christine's build she modified a few pieces so may be worth a look A couple of examples 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
