has anyone ever had any luck fixing or removing that white or light color after plastic has been flexed????
 
heat.... blow dryer may work. just get it warm and she will turn back to blue. took some flood lights and actually aimed them at the pan from 2 feet away and it got pretty warm and turned it back blue. just get it warm and it will change back.

I tried that with mine and it didnt work. I even got frustrated and got it so warm that you didnt want to be touching it and it still didnt come back. I dont know what my next move is besides a new pan.
 
ya, we got it really really hot. to the point that you could imprint your finger pring into the plastic (burnt finger in process). but they did come out for us.
 
i use a propane torch and just hit it. but dont touch it after wards. like they said to get it back to blue it has to become soft again. another things is it keeps turning back cause its a stress fatigue and u cant get it to totally go away. also make sure its really clean or any dirt or oil will get baked in
 
its on borderline "plastic" deformation (ironic, i know) causing the fatigued area and with heating it its almost like heat treating it to allow it to alleviate the stress and let the stuff get back into its "happy" state. if that makes sense. just get it good and hot, but go slow to not burn, but like everyone said DO NOT TOUCH TO SEE IF ITS WARM!!!
 
thanks guys for all your help. I tryed my heat gun on a couple spots and one turned out sweet and other is ok. so all in all it works ok thanks again, chris
