Is it really safe to remove this heating up the screen with a blow dryer as the instructions say? Very hesitant to use a blow dryer on my camera.

I was able to remove the old covering without using a blow dryer. But I suspect using a blow dryer would be fine. I wouldn't use a heat gun.

Use a soldering iron to heat it up and remove. I have used this technique several times. Be careful not to burn anything in the process ;)

It is imperative to get any hair from the the hair dryer, ESP the air intake screen at the bottom. My hair is long so it doesn't get anywhere I can't easily pull it away. If hair gets on the heating elements it weakens them, will overheat & eventually burn them up. You may want to let your hair dry more before using this dryer. I use a more powerful one to do the majority of blow drying & use my infinity to smooth straighten & sculpt. Maybe use less product or until after you dry it. I love mine too! I also run it in the cool setting after each heat use.

I definitely don't recommend recommend this, but I accidentally left my curling iron on from Saturday (today is Monday) and only noticed that I had done so because an object on top of the counter was warm when it shouldn't have been. I obviously turned off the curling iron, then looked for damage: none found. That sounds pretty heat resistant to me. Hope this helps!

Something like a semi soft spatula, inserted underneath will pry it off. It's not like it's glued on. I actually had to take off the top lcd protector when I fell and dropped it and it cracked, but saved the lcd display on the camera. It just popped right off using my pocketknife

I scrape it off with my hair brush or I pull it off with tweezers every or or so. Not a real problem but every blow dryer has the issue.

I am using this item a fair bit, the only problem the lights get so hot real quick I don't use them now. I wait till the beginning of the day when the light is good and situate it near the window but I have one of those natural lights and take the pictures that way. I have a tablet that I take my pictures with, and I cook also and if you want to see some of the pictures I would be happy to show you. But I still think you would get use out of this item, even with it's faults. Hope I have answered your question.

It would not be easy to remove it as it is sodered into the panels. The mesh is what makes it a "safety" screen as without it, embers would be able to pass through easily. I don't think it detracts from the overall look of the screen. It is a very attractive screen and we are very happy with it. TM

Hi Lara, if the project requires a heat gun, I would not recommend using a blow dryer. I asked this question myself and found out the hair dryer does not get anywhere near as hot as a heat gun does. So if you used a hair dryer on your "heat gun required" project, you would not get the results you're supposed to / want to get.

Yes and it worked for me fantasticly i used a hair dryer to remove the old screen take care not to get it to hot or it will harm the touch functions if you have a screen protector ( plastic clear protective cover) it makes it easier to remove if not buy a cheap one and put it on. I did not care for the adheasive they make 1/8 or 1/4 inch double sided tape that is very inexpesive an works much better also check on youtube for videos that show you the steps involved. Hope this helps

Mine was. It's not my favorite dryer. My hairdresser uses it and loves it but I thought it would be hotter. I kept it and keep it in my gym bag or use it if I need a spare.

good day yes you do have to remove the front glass and a litle warning, be very carefull with that process, the lcd screen is very fragile the best way to do it is to heat the glass with a hair dryer and slowly insert a razor blade between the glass and digitizer *** it should come off easely*** do not force it to come off... start from the top corner if you need more info you can always go on youtube to see how it's done good luck

According to the manufacturer, Maverick Ventures, it is not recommended that you use the screen in ovens which produce extremely high heat that would melt plastic (i.e, convection ovens). I know nothing about infrared or halogen ovens - didn't even know there IS such a thing! However, these wonderful screens are perfectly safe to use in microwaves on high heat for long periods of time. I just love this product! Hope this was of some help. Cheers!

you need a heat gun to remove the screen from this device. I recommend watching youtube videos so they can show you how to use the heat gun and show you how to remove the screen. It is really important to do EXACTLY what the video tells you or else you will break the cables and get charged 360 dollars to fix.

All I know the box says not to expose to extreme heat. It may have be damaged unless the package was insulated. Try a roll and see what happens. I keep my film in the fridge.

I have never heard that placing an infared filter could damage your camera. I researched infared photography before I purchased my infared filter. Nowhere did anyone mention damage occurring from using this type of filter. I've used my filter several times and have NOT damaged my camera.

It can leave a slight amount of residue if you don't remove it carefully. Make sure if you remove it that you run the removed portion as close as possible to whats still on the window as you pull down the film.
