If you have a real problem getting back to shape, usually it can be forced back into shape, you can take it outside in the direct sun and cover with a black poly tarp till it gets hot, won't take real long and the heat will definately help. Otherwise it's hard to heat a 17' long shape evenly and using a heat gun causes as many problems as it cures.
