Hello all and John if your reading along today.
I've been doing some fender slicing and welding... of course lots of pounding also... specifically, I need some technique advice. So I've got a spot that I want to shrink or tighten extra metal in. I know John sells the shrinking disks which I'm considering, ... but in the interm, what is the old fashioned shrinking technique. I know to heat the area with a torch.. but then do I cool it rapidly with water or something... or do I let it cool slowly to get the most shrink out of it? hope this makes since brant |
