nope,
heat it up, if you heat it with a hair drier or possibly a heat gun ( but be careful ) the resin goes soft which allows you to bend it, then hold it in position whilst it cools then when its cooled that will be the new shape.
the trick is not to heat it to much as the gell coat can bubble, its softly softly catchy monkey
