I pinched my own STX AV8 (yes, the 20 something dollar beginner head).

How does it look?

The pinch actually looks really good. If that is your first its very nice and even. Although its only an AV8 like you said its still a nice pinch well dne

Thanks, yes this is my first pinch. It is actually a pretty decent shooting head haha. The only thing is durability. But yes, I made sure it was even.

what method did you use?

Dave

Heat to 280 degrees in the oven for 10 minutes.

Take out, Pinch sidewall to desired width and push down on scooping part of the head (so it doesn't fold when you close the sidewall, you know what I mean?). After it starts to stay that way for a while on it's own without you clamping it down, put it in the fridge for 15 mins. Some people tie string around the sidewall to keep the pinch held.

It's a real simple process and fun to experiment with on old heads.

yea probably an ok method the boiling water personally i think works better. Some people have melted heads pretty bad doing the microwave/oven trick
