Looks like you need to get a "Bail Out!" kit for the black fin can.

Before and after.
And............voila! I've made it nearly completely straight.
I couldn't stand to see it warped any longer, so I placed a piece of polished heavy cardstock and a piece of 1/8" basswood on each side of the warped fin, smooshed the stack with (2) small C-clamps, and then treated it with the heat gun until I could "smell the plastic" (it's not an exact science.) It's not quite perfect, but it's good enough. Thanks for all the help guys! VR, Jeff
