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!

I think they add character!

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.
