How To Deal With Dents In Knock Offs?

Recommended Posts

I have been ordering blank K.O.s to practice my painting skills, was hoping to get some advice on dents and tool marks. Tried doing a thin coat of etex and throw it on the turner, took the dents out and gave it a very nice and smooth finish, and then I realized the eye sockets had leveled out as well :*( Thought about it and I can't really put the eyes in and then the etex, it would be a PITA to mask the eyes off while under epoxy. And I'm worried if I paint it first then the dents will show through the paint even after the topcoat, slap me with some words of wisdom TU!

Try heating the bait with a heat gun then drop it in cold water worked for me. The trick is heating the air inside and geting it to expand and pushing the dents out then cool the hot pliable plastic and make it ridged before the air inside cools and condenses and creating a vacuum and suck the dent back in.
