Honing and the temperature of a stone

[dinnermint]

This idea popped in my head while I was contemplating removing a vintage coticule from its wooden box. I'm planning on keeping it to store the stone (hence no brake cleaner or rubbing alcohol), but want to lap and use it out of the box. I was reading threads on putting it in the oven as well as hot water and have not seen someone have an issue (yet, I only read 5 threads so far). I'm still debating the pros and cons of each and weighing that against my inherent laziness.

However, I was thinking about what if I was dumb enough to grab a hot coticule from the oven and just start whaling away on it with some razors. Would the binder stone expand around the garnets? Would they expand more than the binder and break loose? Would absolutely nothing of significance change and this thread will be rendered mute in 5 posts or less? What about a frozen stone? Shall I start freezing my 1k to gain some benefit?

Bonus posts on anyone have issues with either the water method or oven method would be cool. EDIT: I'm referring to the methods of REMOVING A STONE GLUED IN A BOX. Since confusion is becoming apparent.
