From what i can tell that looks pretty slick - wouldn't think it'd need any heat but know nothing about Polish flint, hmm..

Bub. If it was me and it's a quarter inch thick.. I'd Ishi stick it into shape and finish it.. course along with all the other pressure flaking stuff..

I have worked a couple of small slabs. If it was the same rock, it will not need heat treating. It pressure flaked very nicely. Bill
