The best way is to put the flat part on a piece of glass and put it in the oven at about 150 degrees for about 5 or 10 minutes, pull it out and check, if it has not flattened, put it back in for a few more minutes, repeat until flattened.
?I am assuming that the tender floor is flat on one side and has no protruding areas, if not, all bets are off and it will be difficult to flatten.? I would absolutely not use a heat gun.? Maybe hot water can help, but again not real hot water and immersing
multiple times.
I have done the oven procedure with Westerfield and F&C kits with very good success.? Resin is very subjective to warmth and I have seen totally distorted resin kits that have been stored in a non air-conditioned location, destroying the models.
