    You can do that now with a heat gun and some very basic tools.

    A heat gun is a specialized tool. That’s the problem.

      It’s really not a specialized tool.l at all, there are a million things you can use a heat gun for. And they’re like $20 at Harbor Freight.

        Not nearly hot enough for these kinds of applications. And you seriously don’t want to dry your hair with a heat gun.

        It’s like comparing a NERF gun to a howitzer, sure both shoot projectiles…

          It’s what I literally have used for multiple repairs now, so don’t tell me it’s not hot enough. iPhone 11, Pixel 5a, and a Samsung Galaxy S21.
