I ordered some nickel silver rod off ebay and I was kind of worried this might happen given the nature of things, but the rod is a little wavy. I feel bad because the first package got lost for a few days so the guy volunteered to send a replacement (then showed up and he sent brass the first time on accident anyways, which I have an abundance of), then the second rod showed up and it's a little crooked. I'd hate to ask him to send a 3rd package on something that was only a couple of dollars (at this point postage alone is going to kill his profit).
Is there a way to straighten it? It's not terrible, but also I don't want it to ruin the blade alignment. I was thinking maybe drill a hole in something fairly thick and run it thru, while possibly also heating it up, but I want to make sure I don't damage it and also not sure if it would actually be effective. Suggestions?
