Yes, your on the right track with this technique only if your paying strict
attention to the vinyl. Don't set it out... go have a drink... play a few
rekkids...then OH MY GOD! MY VINYL!! I suggest using a hair dryer. This is
a much more controlled medium. I've have saved many a peoples vinyl with
this technique (mostly DJ's who THINK they know what they're doing). Good luck.
