[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1358276, member: 56379"] No guarantees that it will get the job done...but worth a try. If you already have a hair dryer...then you don't have to spend any extra $$$ on a heat gun...and you get some practice with a less aggressive device. The heat from those heat guns is so hot...350-950°F (as you posted earlier): - that it can easily ignite paper or cardboard (451°F) - possibly compromise the solder used in electronic connections (melts around 400 °C (752 °F)) - and would certainly destroy the plastic insulating materials on wiring & plastic wire connectors Good luck,:) - Nick [/QUOTE]
