PS do not use a hammer for this exercise
Thank you!

Actually, that's what I started doing. I don't have a slapper with teeth, it's more like a small spoon. I have been working up the large shallow area slowly from all around the edges of it toward the centre with lots of sort of glancing blows which scuff the metal and make it shiny where it comes up. Someone with more experience could have probably got it closer with a hammer but this is working for me. The oil can seems to be moving toward the centre and is an obvious excess of trapped metal that I can roll around.

It's sort of like ...magic watching it come up. I realize that I have been overdoing my shrinking and stretching before.

Thanks again
