Brad if I could add two things to your technique.

Allow for spring-back. Whenever we bend something like this some allowance should be made for a slight return to pre-bend state. Springback.

Cool, set the piece while in position. whether in a form or hand; hold the piece in position while cooling.

That is a very nice post. I like your method, short and sweet and straight to the point.

Brad's method ought to be in the SRP Wiki if it isn't there already. Too good to get buried in the forum archives.

You can also "over-straighten" by putting a opposite bend in them, so when they start to flex back, it "relaxes" into a straight position.
