By now it's probably too late to show them the flame. I only do that when I see bubbles, it makes them go away. Watch closely to see if you get the desired results. When they look bubble free, I leave them alone til the next, and apply the second coat of clear with the plug hanging in the other direction. If the first coat was "Heads up" Then on the second coat it will be "Heads Down" On the second coat, if you see bubbles, break out the torch again. When bubble free, walk away. Usually mine are hard enough to handle roughly (add hoks and fish) after 2-3 days.
