Been there done that... The new Chinese plastic doesn't play well with a dehydrator. In my case they both sucked in. I was able to save my 68 Chevelle and I'm still working with the other. *NM*

Just adding insult to injury... Had my painted body on a Tamiya paint stand placed in a dehydrator....
Which model? *NM*
New tool Craftsman Plus '65 GTO. Just placed an order for the replacement, along with a Craftsman Plus '68 GTO. *NM*
Applying heat while clamping or twisting parts is a good way to straighten warped parts. It also works in the reverse. IMHO, no pressure of any kind should be applied to parts in a paint dehydrator. Better luck next time! *NM*

Bummer! *NM*
Do you really need a dehydrator for the paint to dry? Also, what’s making the plastic do that? Too much clear plastic added to the pellet mix during the plastic injection molding phase? *NM*
Too much trash recyled stuff in the mix. It doesn't really act like styrene some of the time. *NM*
I actually had some good luck placing painted bodies near a dehumidifier. Not sure it did wonders for the dehumidifier, but the paint cured pretty nicely *NM*
