Warped Hood

[snacktruck67]

What is the bewst way to un warp a hood?  It is slightly bent upwards on one corner.

Resin or styrene?

Either way, the technique is about the same. Run the part under the hottest tap water you can stand and GENTLY and CAREFULLY reshape the part with your fingers. You may have to do it several times, fitting to the car body as you go. You may also have to bend the part FARTHER than you actually want it to go to compensate for 'memory' as the part tries to return to the bent shape...if it's been in the bent position for a long time.

I've brought a lot of badly warped parts back using this technique, but work slowly, gently, and carefully.

You can try bending it cold.

If that doesn't work, try bending it under hot running tap water. You don't want to go hotter than maybe 150*.
