Default Straightening Fletchings

Do any of ya'll have any tips on how to straighten bent fletchings on arrows. Some how my fletchings got bent and causes my arrows to fly crazy. I have heard something about a hairdrier, but dont know if it was meant for feathers or plastic fletchings. Any tips would be appreciated.

Thanks
Chad

You can run the hair dryer over vanes to remove a pretty heavy wave. You can bring feathers back to like new by holding them over steam.
