Default Heat The Pliers

The pliers smash prongs best when they are heated. It is best to set the pliers on a candle warmer. It heats the pliers evenly and at the same temperature each time.

If you can't get a candle warmer, hold the pliers over a lighter to get them to heat up. The down side to doing that is the pliers aren't heated the same temperature each time.
