Does anyone have any recommendations on fixing or replacing a platen? (reddthat.com)

I have a Remington with a platen that has had every single letter space indented. I assume the prior owner(s) were hitting the keys hard. I have tried to mitigate the hardness and the extra pressure needed to put ink on the page by adding extra sheets of paper behind my first.

This is really helpful! Thank you!

I definitely want to try out the heat shrink wrap. I think that best preserves the original machine. Plus, if I muck it up, I should still be able to cut it off.
