Can I change the curve of my one piece stick with a blow torch?

Question

I used to do this all the time with wood sticks, just wondering if its possible with these fancy new fangled devices...

Answer 1

Don't use a blow torch, use a heat gun, and minor adjustments only.  Too cool it off use a damp cloth while you're bending it where you want it to be curved. Be gentle, cracking it is very possible.

Answer 2

Yes, but it may not be as durable

Answer 3

yes but not to close with flame more for heat then bend might be a little hard at first but do again

Answer 4

Medium heat and not too much, nor too close, nor too long.  Happy blazing!

Answer 5

make sure to put it in WARM water afterwards too cool it down. If the water is to cold it will crack the blade

Answer 6

you can but i wouldnt bow tourches are used to get the extra strings off of it if u wanted a better curve u should have thought of that before you bought it
