If you do this make sure the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water. Also know that if any water gets in the chocolate you are screwed and will be forced to eat it all yourself.
I would still try a small test amount rather than dump the whole batch in even if you don't do the microwave method. Either way, watch it like a hawk. ...better to undermelt than overmelt. Be gentle with it.
