Hi Doc,
I use a hair dryer to warm it up then carefully bend into shape. Or you can use hot water to soften them but be careful of both because to long and they will melt. Brian...

Re: Bending ammo belts
Hi, Doc I use resin ammo belts but apart from painting them I have not had cause to do anymore with them other than to fit them onto MG34s.
BUT Scalywag (Paul) I do know has experience with resin ammo belts and might be able to help.
