Heat gun for creases

I've only heard about this -- so try it at your own risk.

Apparently, you can get rid of those white creases (from when your plastics bend) with some heat from a heat gun. It's supposed to be as simple as warming it up until the white disappears.

ya, wat u are doing is melting the top layer of blue pigment back over the under white. most plastics are completely dyed but yamaha chooses just to dye the top giving them this prob.
