I have a variety of slings, all of the very supple and pliable, except my BFG slings. Is there a DIY method of making them less rigid?

My FDE BFG slings are pretty supple, but my camo one is stiff as all hell.
I have no ideas but I’m interested.

Maybe mix fabric softener & water in a spray bottle and mist them?

I have 2, both stiff. For reference, here’s a Magpul, Slingster, and BFG all “laying flat” on a table...

Use them in a carbine class

You can take 2 dryer fabric softener sheets, and put them in a bucket of warm water, soak your slings for a day or two, rinse them, and they will be much more supple. I do this with new castnets to get out the packaging folds.

No idea what it does to the IR resistance of the Mil-Spec webbing.
