Hello all. I recently ordered a new balmoral from Dunad Trading company. I studied this thread religiously, trying to get it "Jocked just right. I soaked it for a day in a bucket of cool, clean water. I dried it overnight, and soaked it again. I didn't beat it, wring it, twist it, or otherwise mistreat it.

After the second soak, I followed the directions for molding and shaping as provided, and wore it dry, in a climate-controlled environment.

I like the way it looks from the front; but it's got some significant dents and divots, in the top, especially. I gave it a third dunking yesterday, and fussed with it to get them out; but they're still there:











Forgive the quality of the pictures. I took them of myself; so they're not meant to be portraits, but to highlight the issues.

Do I have anything about which to worry? Should I dunk it again? I do hope I haven't done any irreparable damage to the bunnet. Any advice is much appreciated.

Thanks to all.
