Inquisitor lorr Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 Hi folks As the title suggests, I'm having some difficulty assembling some DKoK grenadiers that I recently managed to acquire. In particular, the hellgun cables, which seem nigh on impossible to fit. I've given up for today but will try again tomorrow with the assistance of a hairdryer, but it's so fiddly that I'm not holding out hope. So, any tips? Or suggestions for alternatives? I was thinking plastic tubing/guitar wire or just adding a magazine to the gun to avoid the problem altogether. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lionofjudah Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 Super hot water- tea hot, will let you bend them... or you can say screw it(like I did) Guitar cord is super fiddly and tends to poke holes in your fingertips when bending at 28mm;) Magazines work as well as the notion of the micro nuclear power packs that mine are rocking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't suppose you have any photos of what you've done with yours...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akrim Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 I get a mug and fire my Kurig coffee maker empty (so as mentioned; water hot as coffee or tea. Dunk the whole piece in for about a good 30-45 sec and tweezer it out. Should bend fairly easily if its an extreme warp try to flex it ever so slightly then reheat most curved point - usually the bottom of the curve. Be gentle, itll snap if you try it too long out of the heat (more than 15sec) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duz_ Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 There's also the heat gun option too. I picked up one from the hardware store for $40 recently. There are cheaper options but it only had a hot or even hotter setting. I recommend the one with extra settings from cool to hot though. Having said all that I have heard of others using a simple hair dryer too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
