Here's a great tip from my friend Andy Lines ( https://linesguitars.uk).
I've used this several times now and it saves so much frustration.

Bung it in the microwave for 20secs and it instantly behaves so much better.
You're welcome π

My masking tape tip is the superglue and masking tape trick. I use it for all kinds of things instead of using double sided tape, it really does work well.Β
This is a video of Ben Crow explaining it.
