Loris,
I soak my papers (FA traditional or extra white) in warm water for about an hour. Move the papers around during the soak. My definition of warm is to stick my hand and feel the temperature. If it feels cold it is too cold. If it feels like taking the bath it is warm. Never had any issues with multiple gum registration from layer 1 to 10.
In the begining I tried a very hot water soak following the adivice from the list, but found it unnecessary.
