Probably the better idea...... over freezing it!!! The heat will help it expand some, while the cold is gonna do just the opposite.

I have used a torch for this myself on repairs and re-wraps for customers, but I do not suggest it for the 1st timer. You can easily damage the blank.

Try a nice hot rag.
