Question re: Unwarping Jarvis resin castings


Recommended Posts

Just received a Jarvis resin OO tunnel portal and retaining wall set -- nice-looking but all three pieces are warped!

 

I've considered placing them in hot (near-boiling) water for several minutes, then placing them under something heavy and flat. Is that a bad idea or a possible fix?

 

In the E-bay photo, they didn't appear warped at all. ...I'm just saying. ...

That's the best thing. It took several goes to sort out a banana-shaped boat hull that was warped of about 3/4" thickness.

 

Be careful about trying to bend it with the hands though in case you overdo it.

Thanks, Andy, for the reply. Hadn't considered that success might take more than two attempts, so I'll be persistent . . .and gentle!
