Hi guys,
I am not sure if this post should be listed here, or under "Electrical." So, please forgive me if this is the wrong forum focus. Anyways, as a hot dog loving American woman, I thought it was time for me to have a sexist light up sign for my woman lair (I've visited so many elderly machinists' shops where the old machinists has naked calendar girls hung up in their workshops, lol). So, here it is:
I bought this sign off of Ebay for under $60, and with free shipping ;-)
When my sign arrived, I immediately noticed how one bottom corner had warped plastic on it.
My initial thought was to possibly try to straighten it out by heating it up with a heat gun and using my sheetmetal seamer.
However, I fear doing so might end up with the sign in worse condition than now since I would be just winging it, guessing/hoping it straightens out. I assume this damage was from someone installing a bulb hotter than recommended.
This sign was made in the greatest decade to be a teenager - the 1980's! I was a junior with a permed mullet:
I am digressing off my topic, sorry.
Anyways, is it possible to fix the warped plastic? If so, how hard to it be to fix my hot dog sign?
Thanks a lot,
Susan
