    Java, I don't know what temperature it takes, but I do it all the time with my Milwaukee heat gun. You can easily bend and shape 1" or smaller conduit to almost any form without kinking it. I use a sponge in cold water to set it up fast and proceed to the next bend. Just make sure you heat it evenly. It will get soft very quickly and also set up very quickly. You can bend it over a regular conduit bender to help keep it from kinking.
