So far I've tried clamping and weighting it with water on both sides. I don't want to get it so wet it separates, but the darn thing needs to bend.

The only way is to steam it very hot for about 30 to 40 minutes then form it in a form of the bend you want and leave it for 24 hours. Now you will have to make a form to hold it until set. Wetting it will not do it.
