Default Your preferred method to fix oil canning?

What is everyone's preferred method to fix oil canning? I've used shrinking hammers with decent results, and torch/wet rag method. I have yet to try a shrinking disc on an angle grinder.

''oil canning''
Well that can be a few things... too much metal or.. to tight, you need to read it right.
The best way I found is to use a oxy torch and heat the metal very little, do rather more SMALL shrink that one larger one
( Administrators have not allowed me to to say this on the forum)

but if you like... you can see the way I do shrinking on dvd N 10
