I thought it was boiling water? but i dont know i have never tried it,the guys at the fwoosh have done it alot.

Boiled or just hot water is fine. Dip in the piece; wait until it reshapes; take it out and make sure it's how you want it, then leave it or put it in cold water so it stays that way.

So it reshapes by itself?

So it reshapes by itself?

Pretty much. It basically goes back to how it should be, only somewhat flaccid because it's hot. The only issue I can think of is that it can affect paint applications.

Trying it now on Carnivus' sword. How long should I wait and should I keep it submerged?

[Sky Shadow]

Not long - literally just until it's soft enough to reshape.

It didn't get soft at all. Oh well maybe it's for softer rubbery accessories.
