    Had some time off today without it raining to mess around. My boomerangs are pitted and faded sp was going to strip them and prep them for paint. Went to take the drivers off and couldn't because the drip rail is bent down. It's not a huge amount. Just enough to stop the back glass from being pushed out. What would be the best method for bending it back up without warping or creasing anything?

    If faced with the same dilemma, I would look for an appropriate sized piece of 2x4 and a small dead blow
    Gently tapping the wood to persuade the rail
