oven for 10-15 minutes about 100degrees, doesnt get hot enough to melt. i did mine 2 years ago, check my signature below

reheat and squish back together, wear thick gloves or you will burn your hands obviously

the sealant is very stringy when you pull them apart but just use a pen or something to snap the strands and push them back into the groove
 
i used plastic primer, black paint then laquar. light keying using 600 paper did the trick
