[QUOTE="Kyle Weiss, post: 204820, member: 1969"] If folks only knew a batch of beach sand from a craft store and a thick, metal pie plate to about 250°F (oven/rangetop) works just fine for reshaping glasses frames, I discovered it also works well on straightening and bending pipe stems--without marring, bubbling or screwing up the surface. Gonna try the shank first, then off to the stem. Problem with this one particular pipe is the stem is very lightweight, not much material there--I'd honestly fear it getting brittle in certain areas if I weren't careful. If the shank doesn't work, I'll save it as a giveaway pipe or maybe invest in a freehand stem and just start over. 8) [/QUOTE]
