i bet. is it hard to get the shape to relax back into position or how is it done? consider that i have some enthusiasm for it but only to a point.

962, do you use heat to relax the plastic back into its original shape? Best, John

most of the time some simple heat and pressure to move it back into shape will work fine.
some times you will have to take a piece of wood and grind and or cut it to get a basic shape of what you need then heat the area and mold it again but for what i'm seeing on that bumper you shouldn't need to do it. |
