Urgent advice needed on bending PE without damaging it?

Post by normanh »

Hi Guys

Not sure if this is the correct forum to ask for help but I am getting desperate trying to form some PE on the Catapult/Kingfisher kit for my 1:200 Arizona. The Riich kit looks great and has a lot more detail than that of the Trumpy catapult on the stern. The big issue I have is the brass is far to soft and I cant even handle it without incurring damage - I had the same with the Trumpy PE but the White Ensign materials are fabulous to work with. The question is how can I easily increase the temper in the brass to make it workable and handleable?
