Mighty Favog Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 (edited) So I have the original cane grills to my 84' CW I's in storage in favor of a black pair that more suits our living room. I just don't want to get rid of them in case something changes. So either while in storage or even when I got them, there appears to be a small dent in the cane material that is marginally visible and about the size of a nickel. It's not very deep but there is a small crack in one strand on the backside while no cracking is on the front. So, of course, all I want to do is some how flatten it out. I was thinking some kind of moist heat but I wouldn't know what to use to apply it. Any ideas? (and, no, I'm not sending them to anyone for observation for a few years ) Edited November 11, 2014 by Mighty Favog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schu Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 That is what I would try... moister and mild heat. One thing about caine is that is does discolor with moister and they also have the tendency to shrink over the warp and weft directions.

Mighty Favog Posted November 11, 2014 Author Share Posted November 11, 2014 Hmmm...maybe I can put a moist towel on the back of it and cover that with a therapy-type heating pad set on high and some kind of weights. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schu Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 (edited) I'd definitely try the least evasive techniques first (dry) and move to more radical techniques later (with very moderate moister) Edited November 11, 2014 by Schu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
