Depending on what you are doing and the pipe size you may only need to
curve it. 3/4 and even 1" can make quite a curve without kinking.

when bending you cant allow the connection location to deform, because
it wouldnt seal.

incidently schedule 40 clear drain pipe is available too

That reminds me, if you are talking small diameters, PEX would be good for
that and it can be coupled to PVC easily.

Bending waste size pipe..(3 or 4 or ... inches?).

To keep it from collapsing someone suggested a spring be placed in the
pipe. What about sand? Someone told me some pipes are bent while sand
filled to prevent this
very thing.

And to the heat... I take it mild heating from a butane torch is ok?
I'll try my wifes hair drier first.

Thanks all.

A hair dryer isn't going to do the job - a butane burner would be ok.

I put a very slight bend in 2" pvc pipe before and it didn't look neat
because the pipe just wanted to kink.

I suggest you practice on some scrape pieces first.

Heat would do it, but I don't think I'd trust it for
pressure (water-feed-lines) applications after doing that.

What are you trying to do that regular sweep and
bend fittings won't accomplish?
