An embossing gun is a great way to prepare plastic for bending without the risk of burning it. Scrapbookers use them to melt embossing beads. The gun is a tube-shaped device that delivers warm air in a slow-moving current. I’ve found it will heat plastic enough to soften it without melting it. These guns can be found with scrapbooking and rubber-stamping supplies at craft supply stores.
