A variac may also do the job of limiting heat....I just hold it the whole time, and if it feels like it's getting hot pull the plug. I've done enough degaussing procedures now that unless there is a particularly stubborn magnetized region it's usually one fast fluid ~30sec action.
Interesting that they use aluminum wire. I've never removed the black plastic wrapping to check.
