I think you can use that on the plastic Kelly mouthpieces. You only need to add heat to make the shank pliable.

Why would you need to 'true' a Lexan mouthpiece?? Heck, they don't bend! Since Kelly also manufactures metal mouthpieces, I think this tool is perhaps not intended for use on the plastic ones.
