Is there a particular heat gun or would any just work? What would recommend?

A variable temperature one. And that doesn't mean one with just a high & low fan speed. Get one with an adjustable thermostat.

Any heat gun works. I used my brother in laws, he uses it for vinyl shrinking and removal.

No, it doesn't generate enough heat to melt solder or even pinpoint like a soldering gun. I see the other guy said it would but I still doubt it. You should take a piece of solder and hold the heat gun on it and see if it will melt. This will answer your question if you don't believe my answer.

I has a scrapping blade that comes with it. But I think a heat gun and a putty knife would work better.

I feel HeatBud should be better and I am going to order one and return one of my Lasko Myheats back. I found Myheat's fuse seems to get blowed easier. I have exchanged two of them. The third one I decide to get refund.

We use a basic under gravel heater. I'm afraid I'm not home so I don't recall the type, but any well made one should do.

Yes I have used this temp gun for that. It's wonderful!!! Found the areas in my home where cold air was coming in so that I could patch it up. So worth buying this

My husband said 'no'. Heater works great. Maybe a different model could be operated that way. Judy.

Not sure, I'm not familiar with that heat gun. I looked it up, from the pictures it looks like it might fit. You can probably make it fit, you can widen the tips if needed. They have some "play" on them.

Not necessarily a heat gun, but some kind of heat device to loosen the glue. I used my blow dryer.

Some sort of heating device is necessary. I used a crafting heating tool and it worked great, got much hotter than needed. Someone suggested a hair dryer would work but I did not try it.

This specific kit is not the one you want if you are looking for heat rejection. It's very thin, look for their thicker options.

No problem here. Start in low, one started set to desired heat. Seems to work well enough to set "heat shrink" tubing, my most common use. Have also used to strip paint from small parts.

I would recommend Hoptkins #46105, I tend to soldier and use marine grade heat shrink as well, but I tend to over think things. Plently of vids to help with whats what, when wiring.

The short answer is, yes, it will work. You will have to know how to wire it to a power source as well as some sort of outlet for your heat source. If you know what you are doing there, great it will be easy. I looked up a How-To video on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SrdOpk10MkE. It tells you all of the supplies you need and shows you how to build it.

Yes but I'd use a heat defuser. I place it on the defuser and then start the heat medium.

Meh. I found the optimum temperature to cure this - in a reasonable time - very warm. The kind of very warm where you can still keep your fingers on it without too much discomfort. If it's too hot to keep your finger on for more than 3 seconds, your gonna melt the surrounding material. If you can control the heat gun to maintain that level of heat over a 15 to 20 minute period, then you're good. Patience is the key. The heat transfer tool?? A joke. You'd be there for a good 2 hours with it.

Good question! Let me know if you find one. This would be an excellent heater if the manufacturer did not use thermocouples that they know are defective. Why do I say that? Because nearly EVERY review that I have read States the same problem. Now I have a heater sitting out in my garage that will not light! I recommend that any person thinking of purchasing this heater buy a Mr Heater instead. They work! If World Marketing would send me a new thermocouple (that works), I would install it.
