Repairing warped plastic badges
Hi all,
I have a Linconlshire regiment plastic badge which is warped (concave when viewed from the side. My question is, can it be made flat again by the use of a heat gun (mild use) and a heavy weight on it until cool, or is there another method you could suggest or do I "leave it as is?" Appreciate any advice, thanks in advance. Plankdriver |

Some recommend warm water as a treatment to make the plastic more pliable, I've never tried it, I just leave the badges as they come.

Plastic badges
The last thing to be used IMO on plastic badges is a heat gun, it was heat that probably warped the badge in the first place.

warm water and gentle presure but beware its easy to snap then or create surface cracks
