Just gotta be really careful not to melt the plastic. A few passes over the Hockey Mask (try the back first) about 6 inches away and you'll feel the Hockey Mask start to become pliable enough to shape. Do it near a sink so when you get the shape you want you can hit it with some cold water to help set it. D-bach's blow dryer idea may be a little better as it's not as hot as a heat gun.<!--QuoteEnd</div><!--QuoteEEnd<!--quoteo(post=158369:date=Apr 30 2006, 04:40 PM:name=Hauntmaster9)<div class=\'quotetop\'>QUOTE(Hauntmaster9 @ Apr 30 2006, 04:40 PM) <a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=158369\"><{POST_SNAPBACK}></a></div><div class=\'quotemain\'><!--quotecI've used an oven which worked well.<!--QuoteEnd</div><!--QuoteEEnd<!--quoteo(post=158380:date=Apr 30 2006, 05:24 PM:name=puckface)<div class=\'quotetop\'>QUOTE(puckface @ Apr 30 2006, 05:24 PM) <a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=158380\"><{POST_SNAPBACK}></a></div><div class=\'quotemain\'><!--quotecI always use the oven, as long as you are carful and only hold it over the eye for seconds at a time, youre fine<!--QuoteEnd</div><!--QuoteEEnd

I was told the best way to do it is to hold it over an oven hob and gently shape it how you want it.

your prob talking about the shape not the cut right?if your not displaying on an undermask you prob wont get the right shapeif no undermask take a fishing string and tie it on the inside of the side strap snapstie on one side and pull tighter till you get the right shape then tie on the other sideshould work niceand no worry about messing up the paint job
