Can I heat bend a one inch grey plastic electrical 90 degree bend?

Want to bend it some more; hopefully to 180 degrees (or close to that)
to make shape of a 'J'.
Any suggestions. Heat gun? Flame? Oven? Also will it tend to flatten
as metal pipe does when bent further?
If this doesn't work could I use something else; that newer PEX water
piping for example?
Help/advice appreciated. TIA
Back in the early days of M.E.N. (Mother Earth News), they had an
article on that. Sand and capped, then immersed in hot antifreeze. I
guess the antifreeze allowed a higher temperature.
