spot heating for a crease on cuff?

Long story short, I have a pretty good sized crease on the outside of one powerwrap that is not allowing the liner to fully wrap across my shin. Pretty sure this is what is causing me some undue shin pain. Any ideas on getting it out? I was thinking of putting the one boot back on the gun thing at the shop, but dropping a hot bag o rice on it and working it seems like it could work also. Anyone else have this problem, successfully solved it, and care to share your method?
another spot-remolding quesiton
Thanks for the great tutorial! I followed the instructions and got an almost perfect fit. But I don't think I used enough toe cap because my toes are crunched. The shell fit is tight, but with my previous liners (professionally molded) I had enough toe room so I know that better results are possible. The otherwise good fit and lack of wrinkles was probably more luck than skill and I don't want to tempt fate by re-cooking the whole liner. So here's what I'm thinking,
- cover the liners with a couple layers of tinfoil leaving the toes exposed
- put em in to the convection oven for 5 min, at the same time heating up a beanbag full of [ame="http://www.tetongravity.com/forums/showthread.php?t=170547"]rice[/ame] in the microwave
- remove tinfoil, put liners into shells, stuff rice beanbag into toe, stuff newspaper behind beanbag, let it sit with the toes pointing down for 5 min.
- take all that crap out and put my heavily toe-capped foot in
- stand with a 2x4 under the heel to push my toes forward
- beer
How's that sound? Suggestions? Thanks!
