Post by: FitzChevalric_Ziener on October 07, 2011, 08:39:12

I got the wedding church, but the rooster on top of the tower is bend. How can i bend it back, is there a way to soften the plastic.

I guess you could heat it in hot water or with a hair dryer and try to bend it back that way. It depends on how much bended it is. could you post a pic?

Gaston is correct. As long as the plastic becomes hot enough to be pliable to reverse the damage. I recommend a hair dryer set on hot. You need to secure the rooster on a heat resistant surface. When it is hot enough, gently bend the rooster to its original position. You may need to wear protective gloves due to hot plastic being hard to touch with bare skin. Several attempts by reheating the rooster maybe needed to get the position correct. Be careful to watch while the position correcting process is taking place that if it stops moving easily to reheat it.

without seeing the photo (of how serious the bending is) another word of advice is that if the bent part has streaks of white (which is actually tiny cracks / air spaces), then just bend it back as suggested but dont make it any worse by heating or overbending etc hoping to make the white streaks disappear completely, they wont...they wont melt/fuse together. it better to do a bit at a time if its your first attempt.
