Wait till they're golden brown and risen before taking them out.

#13: Re: angel light help Author: Lee, Location: EnglandPosted: Wed Mar 28, 2012 3:32 pm ---- Stick them in the oven. I've done loads. Softens the glue equally and less chance in melting anything as you won't be tempted to hold the heat gun too close
