T13 Posted May 27, 2021 Report Share Posted May 27, 2021 I have tried it, it works decent but i couldn't get all the white out of the real bad/stressed areas. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metal_man_Rob Posted May 29, 2021 Report Share Posted May 29, 2021 Just did mine. It worked ok. I used a propane torch on the really bad areas but have to move it fast.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
autitord Posted June 14, 2021 Report Share Posted June 14, 2021 Never tried it. Too scared to destroy the plastics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha. Guess how quickly I went out and bought a heat gun and told myself “nobody will notice”. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metal_man_Rob Posted June 17, 2021 Report Share Posted June 17, 2021 Lol. Hope it went well for you.Nope. Shot stands out like a sore thumb. Haha. But the heat gun worked on the rest of it. Didn’t fully take the stress marks out but lightened them significantly. But where I went over with the torch, yeah that part looks like dog shit.
