Default melted plugs, still safe to spray again?

I melted 3 plugs, checked compression and it came out ok.

I pulled some timing and put in new plugs...safe to go?

or should I not spray it again?

I already know what went wrong, my setup is good, jsut too much timing killed me

Had no issues w/26* but went up more and it didn't end up to well.

Now I have 22* in the car for now until I know it's safe to spray again and I'll prolly bump it to 24 or 26*

Just don't know if I should spray again

Detonation is a plug killer from jacked up timing.

A friend of mine used kill TR6s in a stock short block with a dry kit, change them out & spray it some more.

If you've corrected the problem, I don't see why you wouldn't give it another shot.
