Please note that I suggested a *cool* setting at low speed-- in other
words, no heat. I do not suggest use of hairdryers either for other
situations, but when you are dealing with a dimple that tucks back in
quickly (which may not be the case here, but if you are...) and moisture
*is* the culprit, then such judicious use may be helpful.
