dapro Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 I tried hair dryer and it doesn't seem to do anything. Any other suggestion? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chyll2 Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 Heat (small flame with a good distance or hair dryer) will probably remove or reduce the stress mark, though you can paint that section for both with gray or white and it will not look off.

Boroboy Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 Try to find someone with an SMD rework station if you have any electronics geeks or makerspaces in your life. It can precisely control the temperature of the hot air as well as being a pinpoint application of the heat. If the hair dryer didn't work, I'd be hesitant to work it with something as broad as a heat gun. Chyll2's suggestion of paint would probably be the way to go if you can't get to an SMD kit. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dapro Posted April 19, 2015 Author Share Posted April 19, 2015 I did the candle trick over a flame and it works. Took only couple seconds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jardann Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Ha ha! yeah, that was a brave attempt. Glad to see it worked out, it looks great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dapro Posted April 20, 2015 Author Share Posted April 20, 2015 (edited) I did it on my VF-1j Max as well and it works great. It funny both my M&M has the same issue new out of the box. Edited April 20, 2015 by dapro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaff.g Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Kinda incredible that that trick works. Strange that it isn't common knowledge among Gunpla builders. Gonna try that out on my next nub mark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
