I purchased a conversion set recently and some of the resin parts arrived slightly warped. Is there any way to straighten them out again?

I use my wife's hairdrier. I've read that others use hot water but I think the hair dryer gives me good control.

Thanks, Shane. One other question - does regular liquid model glue work on resin parts or should I use CA?

You need to use CA or epoxy for resin.

You can also dip the parts in HOT water to soften them up and straighten.

I found out that it depends a bit on the type or brand of resin used when it comes to straightening. Normally I use the Hot water method. It almost seems like resin has some sort of memory and when put in hot water it more or less returns to it's original shape.
However I have had parts that were not really planning to cooperate in the least way... I used the hairdryer method and some heavy books to get them flat again... First heating them up, pressing them down and then putting the heavy books or other items on top to make sure it cools flat.

Given the prices for resin parts, let the mfr replace them if they were purchased new.
