Anybody have any info on how to do some repair work to it? While some of the canning is unwrapped, it looks like it has been in storage with something stacked against it. The base is out of round but ok if it can be re-rounded. The major damage looks like someone jerked it out of above said storage pile. The back of the bottom has come loose and is sticking out. looks like it can be fixed but am looking for a "right" way (instead of my way :) )I remember seeing somewhere that the canning needs to be dampened or steamed so it will soften?? couldn't pass at 8 bucks but would like to get one Mai Tai out of it.
