Coco Joes melting? - Collecting Tiki

I have seeen this with many Coco Joe's Tikis and what I have been told is that there was a fire at one point in the Coco Joe's warehouse. Obviously some merrchandise was destroyed while other items only suffered slightly in the heat. I'm surprised at what they considered "saleable," but I imagine they had lots of orders to fill so they sent out the statues that could still stand on their own. I have never heard of a good remedy for FTS (flacid tiki syndrome) and I'd be aprehensive to try and "melt" one back into shape myself (plus I think it's a cool part of its history). But if you give it a try, please let us let us know how well it worked. [ Edited by: boutiki on 2003-10-30 13:55 ]
