How hot do I need to get it. I can borrow a sievert blow torch.

Easiest way for a one off is to firmly plug one end with a wood plug, fill
it with fine sand and then plug the other end. Bend it over something that
doesn't mark it.

I'd do it cold. If you heat it enough to make it easy, it will discolour.
