if you try to reshape an hhm mask it will crack

i wouldent put it directly into the freezer after heating, fiberglass may crack

UHHH I WOULDNT PUT A MASK IN A OVEN.. it takes me like 20 seconds holding over a burner of a stove to get hot enough to reshape if im doing something liek a 3. if u heat the whole mask such as nose and head area then it could warp u jsut need to shape the edges to achieve a pulled tight on head look..
FIBERGLASS u can sit in hot ass water the nrehsape with your hands and just lay it to the side in cold water freezer could cool it too fast.. also the thicker the fiberglass is the more stress that could be put on it nad it will crack...u learn from waisting many hours and supllied

Another thing that works great on ABS hockey masks is a heat gun used for paint stripping. I actually started painting my first hockey this weekend (I\'ve had the blank for over a year and decided to try painting it finally) and I reshaped it with e heat gun. I just ran it over the edges and bent it with my hands. I experimented with trying to the get it to bubble up the paint a little and the nose started to warp...so like Mike said, be careful. Otherwise, it works great!
As far as learning this stuff (painting hockeys, I mean), there is no wrong answer... People can teach you different techniques and that\'s fine, but half the fun is figuring out what works for you. Granted, some things work much better than others, but just have fun and try different things. I\'m having a blast doing that on mine and I like how it\'s coming out so far.

Inside the oven is a definite no-no! If it gets to warm the ABS gets very soft and as soon as you lift it out the whole nose and forehead part are going to reshape themselves in a way that YOU don\'t want (believe me, I am speaking from experience!!!) The best way is using either a stovetop burner or steam, I would use the burner though because steam is not your hands friend.
