funny you ask that.....I just got done doing my corners.....The easiest way to do it, if you're by yourself.......Preheat your oven to like 300-350.......and put your corners in there, just make sure you take out the lightbulb and the wiring.......and just stick them in there for a few minutes, and keep checkin on em every like minute.......and they will just open up.....you might need to use like a flat head to like slowly open them up, cause theres a lot of glue on them

For the oven treatment make sure you don't put them face down on the tray because thats a good way to flatten them!
