(help) freezing head?

[canuklax]

Well I pinch allot of sticks but it seems every time I go to do another pinch I loose confidence in myself and I’m always worried I’m going to screw it up. This time I was pinching a Mojo and i wanted to try something different. Everyone always says to put the head in the freezer after pinching so I finally decided to try it.

I’m still a bit worried because I was always under the impression that when you subject a heated object to freezing temperatures it will in fact makes said object weaker not stronger. I put aside my worries and I currently have my Mojo in the freezer and I am wondering how long to keep it in there. I have had it in for a couple hours, should I leave it over night or take it out?

take it out now and let it it out for an hour and a half with said pinching device still inserted in head

I do the oven method and have done this atleast (literally) thirty times, put your head in the oven for no more than 10 minutes at 350 degrees, then put it in the fridge for 10 minutes and then the freezer for another 10, just don't do put significant pressure on it for the rest of the day, stringing it is fine and throwing is fine after roughly an hour or so.
