THIS IS PART ONE OF A TWO PART POSTING.
Thanks very much to all that replied. The responses were overwhelming and very helpful. Below is the initial inquiry followed by the responses:
Problem: Pulling thermoplastics over an AFO lined with aliplast or
> plastizote causes the plastic to curl in, regardless of how long it is
> left on the model. I end up using a blow torch to reheat the plastic and
> torque it back out into proper alignment. There has got to be a better
> way. I would appreciate any suggestions.
