Warped Shanks

Was wondering what's the best way to correct warped (both side to side and or 
twisted) hammer shanks in order to correct spacing problems.  This is an 
inexpensive console piano.

I have an electric shank bender, but it heats up to the point where it can 
burn shanks.  Have never seen instructions on how to use these.  

1.  Do you wrap a wet cloth around the shank and us the bender to "steam" the 
shank

2.  Do you use a controller between the wall and the bender to control the 
temperature (like some soldering irons).

3.  Do you throw away the electric bender and use another method.

Any help, as always, will be most appreciated.  And Happy Valentines 
Day....especially to the ladies.
