heat. ideally a strip heater. you can do this with a torch if you're
careful. bend it over something.
What about this one?

Perfect. Ideally, you want to mount it to something rigid with
fiberglass mat insulation under it, and then rig up a couple of support
strips on either side to hold the sheet just off the heater. Try a
couple of test pieces first, but once you have the timing figured out,
heat it up & it will bend in a nice straight line.
