One good thump later out came this:-
. . . leaving this!:-
Out with the panel hammers and dollies:-
. . . . but still a stretched panel:-
Hmmmm . . . . . . . I'd heard that shrinking hammers were pretty useless but I'd also heard of using heat to shrink metal. I read up a bit on the principles and dug out a dual-temperature heat gun on the basis that I didn't have much to lose and, a couple of hours later, ended up with this:-
I don't think that's too bad for a first time effort!
