I was the guy developed the hot water softening technique this Summer. I
told Guy about it and he tried it for himself. He agreed that it was a
winner and gave it his indorsement. You must only emmerse one half inch and
for only ONE second per quarter strength. Use a metronome set at 60 for
timing.
