Pierce, check out the guide (PDF) on Steve Hemmings site , while it deals with Dynamat which is much lighter (and more expensive!) than flashband, many of the same rules apply.
You don't have to heat the panals by the way although it wouldn't harm to do so.

I'll see if I can get some pictures of my boot lid and boot well this evening and I'll email them to CJ. I used flashband and it's very easy and an excellent material. Makes it very easy if you warm the flashband before applying - I used to cut the strips I wanted and then heat them on the dash air vents, i.e. run car with hot air on full.
