heat gun to plastic?

[Darrell]

is it true that you can take a heat gun to faded spots on your plastic and it will put the pigment back in it and make it all match again?

really i gotta heat gun ima try when my blue plastics arrive

 

[Blasterb0y794]

yah just dont put it too close and it will take out those white stress marks!

 

[mdebuck]

it definitely works on stress marks. i'm sure if you had a real hot blow dryer it would work as well. a torch would more than likely melt the plastic

would a lighter work??

IMO A torch might be a tad too much, it must scorch the plastic leaving nasty burn marks..
