Default softening plastic

Are there ways to soften plastic by applying a household chemical or
other product onto the plastic? i have some plastic that needs
stretched. I've tried a blow dryer and the stretching didn't work out.
The plastic i need stretched is very thick and heavy.

thanks very much for the help.

I use a pizza oven but any oven will work if you are going to strech
whole sheet

Otherwise you can get an stip iron used for bending plastic from a
fabrication shop
