Yes, I just bought 2 1 sq ft. of ABS plastics and i was wondering what tool do i use to bend it.....  Is it best for me to get a heat gun or a torch, or a micro-therm butane powered heeat gun. or what.. what do any one suggest using to make crazy shapes out of this material like curve ends to fit a dash or something like that???/... and can u cut it with a jig saw.

Use a heat gun to bend and use a mini recipricator to cut the shape.
