ye but it may screw up how u throw....just unstring it, you'll be much more satisfied unstringing it pinching it then stringing it back ^

yeah, or if u dont wan't to completely unstring it, just undo both sidewalls and roll the mesh up to the top, then tie it up how u like, then put it in boiling water throat first and stop right before u hit the roller up mesh, i dont know if this works but ive heard it does, if u do this method let us know how it works

It shouldnt be too hard if you unstrung the sidewalls, once you undo them and see how they are done, youll realize how easy it is. If you get lost there are plenty of tutorials on TLF that can show you how to string up your sidewall. I'd reccomend u try it, and then you'll have the advantage of knowing how to string a sidewall incase you ever need to do it again.

boiling mesh ruins it... so you will need to get it unstrung anyways, so why not teach yourself by unstringing it

either you didnt heat it up much because the mesh would have melted or the nylon would have

just unstring it and lock this thread

I have done it, broil a pot of steaming water, and hold the head over, even when it's strung. You may need to hold it over for a while, and while your at it take a hockey lace or some sort of tight string and tie it around your head forcing it to pinch in. While tied, soften it by holding it over the steam for about 5 min. and then throw the tied and strung head in the freezer. Leave it in there for a few mor minutes, then take it out. Untie it when you feel it is going to hold enough, and then you have a pinched head, even when strung. Just leave it out and beat your pocket in to breat the frost off, and you're in good shape. The pocket will be fine the next day. If it unpinches a little, repeat the process again to insure you have a good pinch.
