Thanks. I'll keep looking around. One of the hobby gun descriptions says that the nozzle gets to 400 F, so if I still find one that's about 1000 watt and has a 400 F setting, then perhaps that's an option.

If I order a heat gun (2+ weeks delivery time), then I thought I almost may as well get H9 replacement stabs also. But I'll hold off a bit and see if I could fix this latest masterpiece of mine.

I'm right now seeing what a block of wood and 5 kg's of weight would do... it's placed on it with the bowing-out side up. I'm too tired to bother with heat right now, but tomorrow I'll try first heating it with the iron and then adding the wood block and weights... and maybe try 10 kg's or more weight (actually that would be overkill... enough weight to straighten it is all that's needed).

Thanks for help
