Thanks heaps Wotto...
he gave me the tips on fixing the warped plastics on my Elektra...
Oven set to 150c....put plastic on some grease paper on a tray....
Into the oven for 6mins....
wait till the plastic goes flat then pull it out
And I lay it down still on the paper and used a second bit of grease paper on top then squash it flat with some books for a few mins...
then all done...easy peasy japaneasy

I recall reading Wotto's tips year ago - He even had pictures of the oven tray etc !
I've used this method a few times - and although it is a little "scary" - it does work VERY well.
-
Thanks for the good info.cheers

Nice. I'm assuming you pre heat to 150 before putting them in?.
*Jamie Oliver Voice* Splash of olive oil and a bit of rocket. Bobs yer uncle yeah?.
-
Arr thats nothin guys - U should see what I can do with a fish and a salami *)*
-
Yeah it was pre heat...
And Wotto tells me on the phone...put the plastic in for about 6mins...
Sure enough EVERY plastic took exactly 6 mins to flatten...to the second...

Im sure i have wottos instructions floating around some place on how to do this

I've got that EXACT Spatula - and the Pinball book by Gary Flower and Bill Kurtz !
I think I even flattened a set of FLASH Plastics !

I think i saved wottos webpage from 5 years ago lol. I literally stumbled across it this afternoon while having a tidy up of my hard drives

I have been useing a heat gun and two sheets of glass. I think I will try the oven method next time I need to flatten out some plastics.
Thanks for the tip!

If you have a fan forced oven, drop to 100 degrees low fan, 3 minutes.
Otherwise.........
Anyone got some spare Gorgar plastics, cheap????? @.@ &^& &^&
Need 3 of em now. Guess its a new set from the USA.
