Default Can I do it to Conduit?

If you mean an electric heat gun, like an industrial strength hair dryer, it
won't do it. I would recommend an oxy-acetylene torch with a medium size
rosebud tip. You need to reach close to red heat, evenly distributed over
the length of the bend.

With a smaller tip, you can do wrinkle bending by going to red heat halfway
round and then pulling in the bend--one wrinkle at a time.




Sounds like bending *metal* conduit. He's talking PVC.
