    Took the pups to the creek. Pretty dry, but they had a good time.

    You throw them in an oven to remove the lens or use a heat gun?

    As low heat as possible I assume and check periodically to see if its losening up?

    Yep, 200° and I check at about 8 minutes, sometimes needs a couple minutes more if the light cools off as you’re removing the lens.

    Damn, me too. I get anxious and I’ll screw up something minor that turns into a larger mistake. I have a ton of patience. But it runs out at the worst time.
