Re: Banjo mandolin repair advice
Heating or steaming may not do anything, but at best could provide a very temporary solution. However, if it does allow some movement, it should hold better once you get the head and tension hoop back on. It is not uncommon for the rims to get out of shape if they do not have something to hold them in shape. You also want to check the tension hoop to ensure it is not warped as well. That happens as well. Anyway, it looks like a fun project. I have seen worse and we have been able to get them to work. Have fun!
Have a Great Day!
