Warped ABS spacebar

CORRECTION: The spacebar is ABS.

I have a slightly warped ABS spacebar on my hands. It's not warped enough to notice just by looking at it, but with the Cherry stabilizers it sticks just about every time you press it. What can I do to straighten it?

I've read some suggesting boiling water or hairdryers, but they were mostly for PBT. Any more detailed instructions?

Is it a Cherry original space bar? I have a black Cherry 6-unit space bar that is not PBT even though it is marked as PBT inside. It must have been moulded in a different plastic than what was intended for the mould, so the dimensions are oh so slightly off.. and that made the stabilisers stick when it was used on another keyboard.

No, this is from the DSA retro GB. I believe these are from SP, right?

There was no PBT spacebars in the Retro GB.
SP has only recently made PBT spacebars and hasn't been featured in any GB yet.

Thanks for pointing that out!
