That's good, and you're venting, no hotter, if anything, back it down some.

We haven't been able to get the tiles to lay back down in the worst spot, which I guess means it's still venting. Been holding at 500° for 4 hours or so. Do we need to wait for the tiles to lay down to start notching it up?

No, you'll need to press the tiles in as it cools. Are you seeing liquid? Do you still get the chemical smell? Go ahead and back down roughly 50°, it won't hurt a thing.

A little bit of solvent is oozing around a few tiles/vents. Chemical smell isn't noticeable anymore. At what point during the burn in do you start notching it up toward 750?

I understand, but the goal is to vent the remains of the grout moisture, and you've done that. If you go hotter, try another 50-100°. If you don't see any more moisture, you're vented. But you're trying to avoid a violent vent, which you've accomplished. The goal now is to cool it down slowly enough to press the tiles back in as it cools.
