Default Shrinker to borrow?
Does anyone have a shrinker I can borrow to address my tip up canopy front skin fit issues. Looking for that perfect fit without shimming!

I would love to find someone local to Detroit, but I would be happy to pay shipping back and forth from elsewhere.

Thanks guys.

I have a vise-mounted one like this. I used it instead of fluting on the wing ribs for my HRII project, but didn't really like the rough texture it left on the metal.


I'll be in and around Ann Arbor for the Christmas holidays, if you can wait that long.
