I just pulled a rod out of the dryer that has impressions in the EVA rear grip from the chuck. I want to get them out obviously. I was thinking that maybe steam would work. Any idea's? Scott Sheets www.smsrods.com Re: Steam dents out of EVA??

Not sure. Only way to know is to try it. I don't think steam will harm EVA, but you might want to take a scrap piece, dent it, then steam it just to find out.

Scott, I've always just had luck rubbing the grip with my hand, pressing it around a little and giving it a little time. Seems to always come out.
Or you could ease up on the gorilla grip huh? ----------------- AD Re: Steam dents out of EVA??

almost hate to say this low heat from a heat gun will work usually I think i would try a hair drier first as you can actually melt them if to hot
