Hi all....I just bought a set of resin Acurate Armour replacement tracks for an Italeri Steyer RSO. How do I put them on? Do they need to be heated in hot water, with a blow dryer or what? I got on to the AA website but they don't tell you how to apply the tracks.I don't have any experience with these kind of tracks so any help will be greatly appreciated.

Shape them via emersion in hot water and allow to cool in their new shape.

Rather than just let them cool off, douse them with cold water to freeze them into shape. Speeds up things and if you need to re-heat to form it some more, just dry them off.
