Has anyone used "Super-Soft 2" veneer softener to bend sides?

I discovered this product while researching wood veneer and found info on it at

http://www.veneersupplies.com

.
The manufacturer claims "We have heard of good results from luthiers who use the softener to make some species of thin lumber more bendable."

Look at the attached photo. This is the caption that goes with it from the manufacturer:

How soft does it really make the veneer?
I took the picture shown here to give you an idea as to how well Super-Soft 2 works. This image shows madrone burl veneer rolled around a pencil. There are no cracks or splits. If I can roll a burl veneer this tight, you can probably imagine the possibilities with complex veneering projects!

I've been having a real challenge bending some flame Maple sides and have already cracked one set.

Now I'm wondering if this product might be the answer for bending highly figured wood. Perhaps it could even eliminate the need for heat blankets, bending irons, etc.

Has anyone used this product?

I'd love to hear about your results.
