I would add to Kilroy1988's post that when cold setting you should clamp the stays at the brake bridge to ensure that the bridge doesn't separate from the stay. Also, you will need to realign the dropouts to parallel so that clamping a wheel in doesn't put stress on the dropouts (which can crack the dropout or dropout brazing) .
