I got a reply from EBD. They said the coating can withstand heat, but I didn't ask them whether there is a difference between a using a hotbox with the beads or using the other device that doesn't have beads.
I actually got decent results just now using hot water from my faucet. It comes out really hot here, enough to burn you. I just did what is shown here: http://www.expertvillage.com/video/40878_adjust-glasses-fullplastic-adjust.htm#postAComment except I held it for longer amount of time both in the hot water and while bending it. I bent it enough that the arms almost touched at the end. It expanded outward again quite a bit but now while fully cooled it is tighter than when I started so it worked alright.
