My hat brim was also pretty warped. Gonna try to fix it with hot water or a heat gun.
@IndianaPaul Glad it worked out for you. Hopefully I have the same result.
Update - I tried both methods with mixed results. The front and back returned to shape nicely but the sides seemed to naturally want to curl up even more. The best method was to use the heat gun to make it pliable (but no further so it didn't curl back up) and manually shape the brim to what I want. It's a little tricky to maintain that shape when trying to move it to the water to set it though. As a result it takes several attempts but after doing it 3 times it's looking much more like it should. I could probably get it there in another two or three attempts. Thankfully WW is replacing it (excellent customer service. Thank you!) so I don't have to worry if I can fully get it there or not.
