I accidentally placed my hot iron on my Shape Cut™ and now it has warped. Is there anyway I can regain its original shape?
 
The Shape Cut™ is made of a sturdy, thick plastic. If exposed to high or intense heat, it can warp. Exposing the plastic to direct sunlight for an extended period of time could also cause it to warp. Some plastics are susceptible to damage from direct sunlight and heat. The Shape Cut™ plastic cannot handle extreme heat exposure. Unfortunately, the Shape Cut™ will most likely not regain its original shape once it has warped.
