I NEED HELP!!!!

Post by Pyramid Jones »

Ok this week my little bro got into some oxi clean and through it all of my stuff which was mainly my AB well then he went and got the water gun and soaked it all. Now I got this big light shiny spot on the pinch of my AB how do I fix this do I need to send it off to get it clean or is there something I can do at home?

First obvious question, once completely dried did you try brushing it out with the bash pushed completely out and going counter clockwise around the crown?

Ya I brushed it and everything but still nothing I emailed Fedora and he said he can reblock it and might be able to fix it if not he can turn the hat inside out. But I would rather know and have the oppinions of what to do before I spend money to get it fixed.

I'd say box it up and send it up to Steve. Sometimes the more you stir things, the worse they get, so leave well enough alone this time and leave it to it's maker to correct.

I agree, best thing to do is send it to Steve. Most likely he will need to pop it inside out and pounce the inside of the hat to become the outside of the crown. The stain will now be hidden in the inside under the liner.
