You need immediate heat in a specific location for a few seconds. Exposing it to long term heat will relax it towards flatness because the areas outside where you want to relax will be soaking up heat as well.
FYI: <350 or you risk burning the thin stuff. I form 0.060" at 280F. 0.080" at 300F and only the thick stuff gets 350F.
