I sure coulda used that today: I had a stay with a kink in it. Blocked it just below that point
Put it in doorway with opposite side against doorframe and pushed with my back against doorway....
Boom closed 3/8 gap at dropouts. But in doing so put bow in stay right at kinked area.AND the little piece of rubber I had to cushion straight stay pushed that stay in about 1/8.
