    Shoe,
    I have found that the aquabluemaui raw veneer has a reduced soak time in the warmer weather. Its now 3 hours or so.

    Cool. So have you tried doing any additional heating to see if that would help even more? I wonder if it was hot vinegar if that would improve.

    How hot are you talking to reduce the soak time?

    NO HEATING!!!!!!!!!!!! Heat takes the adhesive and breaks it down. Also, additional soaking eats away the shell. At most, I would give it 4 to 5 hours. Its very flexible at 3 hours tho.
