    Hi. I'm new here. Glad to be a part of the site. I just tried this method on my Combiner Wars Powerglide which had a factory stress mark on the wing joint. Rather than a hair dryer, I used boiling water as it was more precise. I just boiled the kettle and ran a stream of water from the spout. Holding the stress mark under the stream seemed to make a huge difference. While the stress mark is not perfect it is 80% improved.

    Huge necro bump but boy am I glad you did that! I had no idea about this trick. What a handy little way to get rid of stress marks. Going to try this at home tonight.
