You are just one step away from the bends you want.
To be gentle with this soft material, you need to pat it with a
soft-face mallet.
There are several options:
on the traditional side, a wooden or leather face mallet
on the modern side, a platic face mallet (with those yellow
plastic end buttons)
or a dead-blow plastic faced hammer.
