Have myself used Hot water and used fingers to squeeze to proper shape and quick "cure" in cold water to hold shape, this way you can feel if badge is resisting (ready to break) you can keep going back to badge over a few days and gradually get to where you like.
Have heard of using Steaming kettle, place badge on sheet of paper and direct over the steam and then shape the badge, not tried this one myself as wife slung kettle (The Only way to make a proper cup of Tea!)
If you are going to do any of the above and then place a heavy weight, even by pressing down onto badge and then leaving a weight on badge you may "Flatten" highlights on the badge, think the Scottish Rgts as the Acetate has softened in the Hot Water/Steam.
Good luck, try on an Old badge! Camerons is prone to Warping in 2 directions so you have to take that into account, guess you need to do this very carefully, any chance off a before shot of badge?
All the best billy
