Can I help it along with some constant pressure from behind? I am very
inspired by the thought of not having to cut and grind.

John,
The creep (cold flow) that is a constant threat to almost all plastic is a
very temperature sensitive issue. If you can wait until the weather warms
the hull, it may well recover on its own. Or, you can heat it locally
with a jet heater and pull it with one of those suction holders, but just
letting it sit in the warm is the easiest thing to do - those that I have
seen usually come back.

I have a 24 foot sailboat that was improperly placed on its cradle. The
weigh was placed in an unsupported portion of the hull and has resulted
in what looks like a dented can. The boat sat in this position for many
years. The dents have remained even with completely shifting the boat in
the cradle. I can get to the hull from behind / inside. What is the best
way to repair this?
