BTW I do use this stuff on action centers in the field and use my heat gun to assist the process but you can go too far and end up with a click. I have not produced a click without the attempt to speed things up just letting it dry naturally. And I'm still gona use the gun sometimes because I think that sizing is generally less disruptive and more stable than reaming.
