I have a replacement dogs head spur butt plate to fit to my stock. I understand that the fitting technique is to immerse the buttplate in boiling water to make it pliable. Any experience here on how to determine if it is pliable enough to fit to the buttstock?

How does one handle the butt plate when it comes out of the boiling water and then while fitting it to the buttstock??? JF
