: You can wet and heat the strips in that area and pull them down pretty well
: with a couple of 2x4 blocks and ratchet straps, which is what I did. Then
: I heated the area again and let it dry for a day or two before I took the
: blocks off. The pic below is of my Guillemot "L", which has
: about the same shape as the Guillemot.
