It shouldn't be if you do it the right way though, which I've found out we didn't. Temp was too high. Safer to go with lower temp and longer time in the oven. I think we were supposed to be around 200-210, but we were doing it at like 250. If we had it at the right temp, we wouldn't have had to put it in lens down.
