Hot water. But watch how long you leave it in. Then quickly straighten the item. I would then dunk it into cold water as soon as you have got it straight. I did this yesterday to a resin wing on my BE2C. Worked fine.

Greetings all; Another similar method is to trap the piece between two plates of picture glass held together by rubber bands. Then immerse at brief intervals in hot water (not boiling.) This way only the warp is really affected when straightening the piece out.
