Thread: Hot Pressed Horn Repair?

Perhaps you can shape the horn by steaming it in a box. When building a wooden boat you form the plank in a box with steam. You steam 1 hour/inch of thicknes. Then quick as hell you form the plank, and it settles to the shape you gave it. Of course the time to steam a piece of horn has to be significant shorter, and must be experimented out. 1 can, 1 box that is big enough to hold the horn slab, (as tight as possible) 1 pipe and a heat source is what you need.
Thats what you need. It might work, or maybe not. I can't see why it shouldn´t work.



Corrected: The box should be made of preferably wood. As epd pointed out you can get hurt by having it to airtight.
