The first three steps are OK, but the hair dryer is an absolute
no-no; you can build up a lot of static in some spots.

I have an oven that can go down to 180F. Failing that, you can
turn on the oven, let it warm up to about 200F, then turn it
off and put the board in. The heat stored in the oven is enough
to do the job.
