Yes!  Same thing in cold weather.  I used to slip it in my shirt for
awhile to warm it up, or if you have warm water handy, you could pour it
over  the bit, or just warm it in your hands.  (I always thought it must
be like when you're at the dentist )and an ice old bit against their
teeth must feel horrible.(Hot too, of course) Maureen
