Hi John-

I have never done that... and have never had any problems. I think you should be good to go...

Yes, for things that you need to really bend into circular shapes (ex. machine gun barrels, muffler covers, etc.) it really helps to anneal the piece first.

Only takes a few seconds over a candle flame or lighter. Hold with tweezers or hemostat.

Let it cool and then bend away.
