Railway design associates resin buzzards bay tower kit. Questions.

 I built this kit many years ago.  From what I remember the walls are quite thick. Mine didn't have warped walls. But some sanding was required to get the walls to square up. The roof weighs a ton being one solid casting.

 I've always been nervous about putting things in ovens. I've had good luck leaving them out in direct sun this time of year.  I used some 1x2's. Placing one in the center where it's warped  and one each on each end. When it feels like it's warming up. I slowly tighten  the 2 clamps just a little at a time throughout the day until it straightens out. 

Hair dryer???

 

One of the pieces is warped kind of twisted in fact. Long ago, I recall someone explaining to me that placing it in an oven(really?) at some gentle heat might reform it by softening it up. Does anyone here know what temperature and for how long?

Cookie sheet with oven at Warm. Keep a very close eye on it until it flattens and then yank it out.

Depending on resin this may prove "aromatic".  Fair warning given.....

Model car guys build LOTS of resin. May or may not work...but we dip in boiling water until you can work out the warp then cold water to set.

I might be getting nerves of steel thinking about the suggestions.  I may experiment with your  suggestions, and see what happens.

modelling without risk is actually without challenge. Got to just go for it.

enter here the theme from Rocky......

Sneakers on, Thanks for ideas.

Be sure to let us know how you made out and what suggestion worked the best! We care!

I've used this method with good results.

Yep. Dip in boiling water is what I do. Should be able to clamp it between two pieces of wood and you should be good to go
