Burning takes time. If you do not have something to read the temperature and dim it, I suggest you get something as soon as possible, like tomorrow. UTHs can get up to 120 degrees pretty easy. It is also very difficult for us to guess temperature based on touch.
I hope it all turns out ok.
90 Hot meaning the substrate only in the basking spot and 80 or so ambient?
