Re: Anyone know how to remove Stress Marks?

I wouldn't recommend sanding!

Indeed, heat is the cure.

I would recommend boiling a kettle of water and once it's ready, pour it over the right hand with the gun in there because it is what caused the stressmark in the first place. Try not to get water on the decals or the metal...if you do, just dab it dry with a paper towel. After you've poured 1 cup of water, you will see the strees mark return to normal color...if not, do it again. By 2-3 cups it should be totally fixed. Make sure you let it cool for 10 mins or so...

In more extreme cases, you could try a hair dryer, and even worse cases you could use a heat gun--but as you can imagine the risk is pretty high compared to just pouring water over the affected part. I've fixed several TFs with a heat gun but I've destroyed a couple too...
