Anyone Know How To Re-shape Felt Hat?

[🪦 Lewis Tully ●]

I have this here hat, and it\'s a new hat, so it\'s pretty much set in it\'s way, and what I\'m trying to do is pinch the front of it to make it tighter, and the two sides that would be where you would grab it, I\'m trying to make them go back farther. I know back in the day Hatters would use Mercury (the stuff in thermometers) to form the felt, but I think that\'s kinda dangerous... Makes ya go crazy. (* That\'s where the phrase "Mad Hatter" came from.) so anyway, if anyone has any other materials that they think I could use, I\'d love to hear any suggestions!!!
