heat gun is the best! theres no way u can mess up with it and u can heat and cool in a matter of seconds. it might take a bit longer but i guess i just had a bad experience with the oven.

Are most of you guys doing this yourself? I wanna do mine, but I'm scared, never done something like this before, I have no idea where to go for something like this.
