Resin straightening question

Gents, I am trying to do a partial interior (Tank Workshop) on my Tiger and need to straighten some parts. I tried running some very hot water (from the tap) on the part without success. Years ago I also tried the same procedure but even used boiling water, again without success. I have read some of you guys talk about this as if it's no big deal. Can anyone be a little more specific about how they get this to work for them?
I guess what I need to know is the expected times and strength of temperatures to try.


The part in question is the small section of longitudinal framework and the torsion bars. I cleaned everything up, so there is not any extra flash. I was hesitant to get too cute with my experimentation due to the poor results I had some time ago.

One suggestion I read was to use a hair dryer. My girlfriend lives about twenty minutes away (on the S. Calif. highway system) so I will have access to one this weekend.

Thank you in advance Gentlemen.
Chaz
