Default Urethane Front Lip

Kinda a newbie question but just want to make sure. I got a urethane front lip in the other day and it was folded over. I really dont feel like letting it sit out in the sun for a couple days or so. Anything I can do to speed the process up? I thought maybe I could use a heat gun, heat it lightly and kind of mold it to my bumper and let it cool? Im not sure.. help

Wow. Never buy from wherever you bought it from again. Sometimes urethane can spring back, but often you'll have a permanent crease there. Twisted and rolled for shipping can usually spring back, folded is a different story. Once you go past the elastic deformation point of plastics, its permanent. You can try a heat gun gently though, and see what happens. It's not like you can really damage it any more..
