Clearing Headlights with 3M
I had Stongard installed on the entire front of my car. Now I want to clear the headlights. I've read in a previous thread that you can use a hair dryer instead of an oven. Anyone actually try this? If so, will I have to buy some kind of sealant to close them back together since I'm not using an oven?

i cooked them at 200 for 15 min each (aprox) an it worked great, throw them back in for the same to reseal, before u screw everything back together. a hair dryer my not heat things up evenly. a good tool is a heated knife to cut the stringy warm sealer cuts down on the potential mess

buy silicone in a tube and make sure every single place that seals up is covered in a thin layer of silicone.

I had the Rockblocker stuff on there....don't worry, you'll be fine. Just stick it in the oven....assassin makes a good point that it may not heat evenly with a hair dryer.
