Is there a good way to take a kink out of a 1" wide bandsaw (resaw)

up to anything, but it's got the expected results in the cut quality.
How do I fix this, or is it trash?

Cut out the kink and re-weld it? A small loss of length shouldn't matter
on most bandsaws...

Otherwise...

If it won't unkink by rolling it over a smaller radius roller than the
wheel, start bit then decrease according to what you have, make bowsaws.
Larry can tell you how.
