Polytube is flat but should be round

Hi all, I bought a few metres of round clear polytube 19mm. It was the last few metres on the spool and it was flattened. I was expecting it to pop back to a round shape but it hasn't. I even attached a foot pump to it and put a bit of pressure into it. It went back to a round shape while I had pressure in it but collapsed…

Hi all,
I bought a few metres of round clear polytube 19mm. It was the last few metres on the spool and it was flattened. I was expecting it to pop back to a round shape but it hasn't. I even attached a foot pump to it and put a bit of pressure into it. It went back to a round shape while I had pressure in it but collapsed again as soon as I released the pressure..
I've attached a photo.
Any ideas on how to get it back to a round shape?
Thanks in advance!

Try running some warm - hot water through it, might help to reshape it.
