I just use my MINX heat lamp where I can control the heat, and I haven't had a problem with my Shellac at all. Working in a salon with stylist running hair dryers all day (they are hot, but the salon is cold), I've learned to adapt for ALL of my products, polish, monomer, and now Shellac. But haven't had any issues, I just place my bottles under my heat lamp on a dim setting and they are ready to go for the day... NOTE: I don't keep them under the heat all day though :o).
