I have been working on raising the lows through stretching as the panel was definitely overshrunk. The panel has come closer to contour with the oil canning softer and retaining their shape when pushed out (though it can be pushed back in). The circled spot toward the front of the door is now its own hard, small oil can, high when pushed out, low when pushed in. I have tried to tap it down, lower it off dolly without heat but it remains either high or low.

Peter, I wasn’t completely understanding your directions. I was stretching along the upper sewage line but pushing the slapper toward the center of the door rather than toward the top edge. I assume that slapping in this direction gathers the metal from the oil can and the stretching along the sewage line gives it somewhere to go.

Thanks for bearing with me. I have been reading a lot about oil canning and learned that there is so much more to it than just shrinking the oil canning area.
