Sword straightening.... Tip

I had a few bent swords and weapons, due to crappy packaging, and i didnt wanna throw them out, so i whipped out the ol hair dryer, and warmed the up and straightened them out, while the palstic was warm, and got them straight again...

I would think this would be a great way to straighten weapons and stuff which have a habit of getting bent if under pressure for a long period of time.

Im guessing some people might have already figured this out, but I thought id share the tip.

Hot water also works. I used that to straighten out a part on a reissue Transformer that had been deformed due an assembly error.

I use the 5 minutes in the Las Vegas sun method.

I usually just stick 'em on a flat surface underneath something heavy. Works just about every time.
