  Sometimes the cause of this problem is when you leave the bow in the violin case for a long period of time on the side ways position . Gravity will tend to pull the middle side of the bow down . So for me I always hung my bows if not using it for a period of time to avoid this problem.

  Thank you so much. I have just fixed my cello bow. I don’t have enough money for new bow and you save me.

  Nice video! The magic stuff is Menzerna buffing compound. Looks like it still has the original paper wrapping

  This video is very helpful. I was able to straighten an old bow using your method with a candle flame. I used beeswax in place of your mystery substance, and that worked perfectly. Many thanks for sharing your skills.

  As a bow maker; the kind of bows that throw arrows, I do A LOT of heat shaping of wood and use my electric range to get wood as hot as necessary. Heat is heat so I'll go with flameless heat and a padded jig that can over bend the stick to account for some spring back. I'll experiment with the wax because as a wood bender, as with the "heat is heat", I don't believe you need some "magic wax" to keep the wood from scorching. A mixture of tallow and paraffin should probably work.

  How much should I bend the bow?  Answer: Till it snaps and breaks, then don't bend the next one as much.
