|  Stretched out foams
I have CI DD Closed cell foams that I have been running on some narrowed down Axial Beadlocks. Inside the tires I had 2 wraps of sticky weights. I am now switching to some SLW's and wont be running the sticky weights. The foams are now "stretched out" and do not fit the new rims well at all. I searched and found a few people have heated their foams by various means but seems like success was limited on memory foams. Anyone have method of restoring memory foams?

Memory foams will tend to return to normal if you just leave them sit a while.

Got impatient  So I dunked one in water and nuked it for a total of 2 minutes doing 30 seconds at a time. Small improvement. Wife was moving some clothes from the washer to the dryer so I snuck them in with the laundry and they nearly returned to new size and condition. Dryer sure works well.  |
