    Too Much Crown

Metal former asks: "I have one question about the metal forming and that would be " Can you take out too much crown if you have put too much into a panel without using a torch?"

Tin Man answers: Yes, if the metal is not too hard. even on 2024 T3 I have had some success working down the crown, but on 3003 or 1100 it is a lot easier. The techniques involve mechanical advantage and hand tools, and leave no marks.

Words cannot, and pix cannot describe this art/science. Must be gained through personal experience and insight, and using the right tools. I teach this and other methods in the Shrinking Intensive.
