So now you have a cannibal and a raptor?? I though you sold your 2001 raptor a long time ago? Well I havent found any way yet that gets rid of stress marks effectively.

I turn my heat gun all the way up to 1100 degrees and fire away and they go away.

I heard welding torches work real well also! just follow the creases around with the torch and they soon will be gone! I had a friend have his profesionally done by taking it to a blast furnace, they did a real nice job!

I believe you would get the same effect on either side you heat up. You can pick up a welding torch and tank at your local hareware store. I think you would be better off taking it to the blast furnace at your local steel mill they would do a better job, after all they are professionals. Don't let them charge you over $50 though.

One more thing killer400ex, I do not appreciate your signature you use on your posts "02 Cannibal Raptor Eater". I had a friend lose his leg while riding his raptor due to a hungry cannibal tring to eat his raptor. He barely made away with his life. It was a good thing the raptor is faster than any other quad or he would have died. So PLEASE remove your signature. Thanks!

If you still wanna get rid of those pesky stress marks we still have a few Steel Mills in the area. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

A low temp heat gun- availible at most local Hardware stores should do the trick. Make sure and remember to watch out for the stickers...

I personally like White plastics because they dont show stress mark's near as easy as Dark colored ones.
