Default Foam Decoys

I know this was just posted a few days ago, but I'm not able to find it anywhere.

I just bought some of the collapsable foam decoys. How can I make them no longer have the "memory" for them to fold back up? I think someone said putting them out in the sun for a while but I'm not sure.

Any Suggestions?

Sun, hairdryer. Anything that warms them a bit.

Hairdryer is a good idea, but I don't have one. Right now, I have them stuffed with newspaper and will leave that in overnight and see if that breaks the memory they used to have. Think it will work?

that is a good step. really anything that puts heat off will do the trick. sit them near a heat register. or even by a window that gets direct sun. the window will help amplify the heat.
