Would you be able to...

Would I be able to pinch a head w/ tradish in it w/o screwing it up??

[EndlesFimbulvet]

Probably not...Seeing as how any method involving heat (and every one I know of does), the leathers would expand and get softer, and boiling them would be a bad idea...

[fenderDman23]

also in changing the shape of the head you would change the shape of the pocket....
ive tried it b4 it doesnt workout well at all

[EHSLAX12]

that and youll probably break the leathers and xlace into a point that itll be ridiculously soft, kinda like used softmesh, where its not stable, itll stretch and never retract, and will just look really ugly.

I think you might be able to salvage the pocket if you tried using he hairdryer method. As long as you focus the hairdrier on the head and not the pocket, I don't think it would do much to the traditonal. Except of course the pocket will be very different after the head is pinched.

I have pinched several traditional pockets using the "back of the car window in the summer" method and it has worked perfectly. One must adjust the tightness of the leathers and shooters accordingly, but no major changes needed to take place.
