you said in your OP that you've been doing it for a while and you've got the hang of it.

Thanks man sorry for lack of pictures, I wasnt expecting to do a write up on it haha.
Regardless, hmm..300 ya say?

I might give that a try next time. my goal here was to make it hot enough to split, yet still cool enough to not turn the silicone too gel/water like so I could reuse it.

200 @ 13 worked great for me

I need to pull my driver side out and 800-1000-2000 the lense..looks terrible compared to the passenger. I'll get pics later to show..its baaaaaaaaad! haha
