I need to bend it 20 degrees at the neck. I have a few heating elements
from water heaters or I'll buy the best candidate, whatever I can
control. Or, I'd buy the hole kit-n-ca-bootle off the shelf. Any
suggestions?



Would directed hot air be quicker?

Might be easier to generate & control too.

I've used a heat gun on old toothbrushes and kitchen brushes to make
bends for cleaning inaccessable places many times.
