I am sure someone must know, I was thinking that dipping the line in warm water might do the same as a hairdrier but in a more controlled way, just not sure what sort of temperature would be safe to use.

80lb shockleader to 15lb mainline. Take shockleader end and tie a half knot wet with spit then pull tight then get mainline and go 7-8 times around sh/leader then come back with tag end and go back in through 4 times wet with spit pull up and then down snug against half knot, trim off tag ends/ job done.
