It was actually pretty easy, what was questionable is how hot to heat it, I never really saw anyone say. I used a heat gun at about 2" on ~1000 degree heat. I knew it was hot when i could turn it about 1/8th the way and the plastic started to shift. What I found is that you have to overturn it for the plastic at the bottom to bend to 90. So I had to turn it to 180 degrees so that when I released it, it stayed at 90 degrees.Looks great ... that was pretty brave ...

So this is what happens when it goes wrong:It was actually pretty easy, what was questionable is how hot to heat it, I never really saw anyone say. I used a heat gun at about 2" on ~1000 degree heat. I knew it was hot when i could turn it about 1/8th the way and the plastic started to shift. What I found is that you have to overturn it for the plastic at the bottom to bend to 90. So I had to turn it to 180 degrees so that when I released it, it stayed at 90 degrees.
And more help/guides for anyone else reading this thread wanting to do this..
