jjmac, "how to apply heat", as far as I heard from the "record guru's" I spoke of before, i.e. "purists", was to place the whole enchilada into the oven... again, temp is important, too much, and you might end up with a puddle of goo, too little amount of heat, and you can just be wasting time, gas, electric, etc...

Considering the temps of inside the car, and what can happen when a CD is left in one, in direct sunlight, should give better ideas on what temps should be avoided, and more of a "trial and error" approach taken... Time is another issue, and should be weighed against the amount of temp being used... as I said, it is NOT an exact sceince, thats for sure...

Good Luck,
