Ron I used a redneck double boiler A 3# coffee can with water in the bottom.Boiled the water and remeved it from the heat and set the tub of Prtect-a-edge in the water and in softened nicely.When it started to harden I simple put it back in the water.
I also did a batch by putting the tub on top of my wood stove that was almost out.No flames just coals.I thought it melted a lot quicker but you are corect the product does not seem to adhere ase well.I never considered temp flux as the possible reason for lack of adhesion.
I have an old heat gun that I think I'll modify and give that a try.I'll keep you posted.

Thanks Jeff,
The double boiler is definately one of the most dependable ways of heating the stuff. The heat gun idea sounds interesting too. I am hoping to find a fast, easy, dependable way for people to get it done without needing any special "cooker" though.
Anybody else have a technique that works well? Thanks,
Ron

OK I just put a piece of aluminum foil over the grates of my gas grill put it on low and seems to be working pretty well.Although its only in the upper 30's today when I removed it from the heat it did cool quickly.

Has anyone tried a little electric hot plate.I think I'll go and pick one up and give that a try.It seems you would be able to keep the temp at a consistant heat over a longer period of time.
