Just kidding about the Century part......but i did try something yesterday that worked very well. I had mounted a pintail drake that ended up having a very crooked and bent "pins". Instead of fooling with the hassel of getting out the steamer, I just heated up a cup of water in the microwave and dipped his tail down into that for about 10 seconds. Next I hung him upside down with a clothes pin on his tail. Presto! That hot water and clothes pin really did the job! Figure alot of the full timers have done this, but some of the newbies may want to try it.
