My buddy did his the same way and has had even more spectacular crashes and all he broke was the wing mount ( which he did not boil )...arms and knuckles survived.
After I boiled mine I talked to a guy at the local LHS that races alot of onroad stuff, he works for a plastic manufacturer as a chemical engineer.....he said to boil them for a minimum of 45 min......but mine has held up just fine
