Hi Doc,
I use a hair dryer to warm it up then carefully bend into shape. Or you can use hot water to soften them but be careful of both because to long and they will melt. Brian...

Hi, Doc I use resin ammo belts but apart from painting them I have not had cause to do anymore with them other than to fit them onto MG34s.
BUT Scalywag (Paul) I do know has experience with resin ammo belts and might be able to help.

Hi Jarndice,
I'v been using heat or hot water to shape resin parts for years now never had any problems
.if there's another way to do it i'v never come across it as yet but no dought someone will have there own way of doing it. I wait with baited breath
