Anybody flying the various planes using EPO or Z foam that have had a "OOPS" moment that resulted in wrinkled foam can bring it back to normal, or near normal, by placing a blow dryer on the area for a minute or so. The wrinkles will disappear. Don't leave it on too long though or the foam cells will blow up like a baloon.

I'm not sure what it is fire. It might be a form of EPO with very small cells. Heat may work. I'd be real careful on the wings though they might want to melt. BTW, the heat trick was posted on RCGroups a long while back. I forget who the poster (manu simon or toppers?) was, but we all owe him big time.
