A high intensity heat gun should work, but you really need to keep it close and moving it around.  This spreads the heat spot over a larger area and makes it easier to bend.  At first I thought it wasn't working either...but I found out that the longer I waited and more area I covered, the easier it was.  You should be using .122" or 3MM sintra ;)


Also, if you are making parts that require detailed shaping...I'd not use an ice bath afterwards.  This way the sintra slowly cools and gives you time to work out any kinks...so-to-speak.


Pm me if you need any more info.
