special06shee Posted April 19, 2015 Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 Sure, I learned this trick on my 6x6 1st, it must be clean. 2nd you gotta sand the weathered/faded areas with fine sand paper, don't worry about the scratches, they'll come out. Now wipe down those areas with alcohol. After that, you wanna start the heating in the middle areas and work out gradually, don't get the edges too hot or they'll warp, don't worry though if u do, it can be fixed do you have any before or after pics of this process? Im kinda curious as to how it looks. Only time ive ever used a heat gun on plastics were to get the stress marks out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigweav81 Posted April 19, 2015 Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 I've heard the heat gun only works on blue plastic. Any truth to that gravel? I have some old plastic ilk be trying this method soon. Thanks Sent from your mammy house Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
