Shoutout to using a heat gun for old adhesive removal

Had a Minolta X-700 with years of foam rot stuck to the mirror box. Tried alcohol, lighter fluid, nothing worked fast. Pulled out my cheap heat gun, medium setting, 30 seconds of heat. That glue came off like soft butter. No scratching the paint underneath. Anyone else use heat for stubborn foam cleanup?

Did your friend try a hairdryer first or just go straight for the heat gun?

Did she at least test it on a low setting first? I'd feel awful if her hair got damaged, that stuff is no joke.
