Title: probably not the first to try but it worked for me
Post by: Russ Danneman on January 05, 2011, 05:16:42 PM

a recently built (not covered)wing  had slight warp in it. the cussing did not help, so i got out MY "as seen on tv" SHARK FLOOR STEAMER and steamed it right out!    ;D rd

note:yes, i did say" my shark" ,the wife has no idea you can use one of those things on wood floors. >:D

I've actually soaked entire wings in the bathtub and straightened them out, then I learned how to build them flat!!! HeHe, nothing personal.

I have used a steam cleaner "as seen on TV" to mold LE's and take out wing warps.  My father in law gave it to me to clean things, but I've found a better use.

Modelers and luthiers are the worlds' cleverest people!

Then how come modelers don't use luthiers white glue? I posted that 3 times and folks are still asking "what kind of white glue should I use?"
