Well, you dilute your product 100 fold, and stick it back into a fresh
mixture with buffer and dNTP's and primers.

personally, unless you have already sequenced and confirmed that the pro-
duct is specific, I wouldn't reamplify, because artifacts at this stage all
have perfect matches to the target, and will amplify as readily. 
Opinions from the rest of the net?
