Worbla Activation Guide
Heat to 170°C until the material becomes translucent. Work in sections no larger than your hand so it cools evenly. For compound curves: score the back face at 5mm intervals before heating. The score lines fold cleanly and reduce surface stress marks on the finished side. Reheat at any point without losing structural integrity.
