MOTM

Nathan,

If you're concerned about the expense and have no looming need to pull up
vinyl flooring, Radio Shack carries a cheapo heat gun that's basically a
modified cigarette lighter in a fancy case with an additional heating
element. You can refill the lighter cartridge with butane. It works
wonderfully. Just make sure you're not too close to the insulation of the
wires! :)

I love the really big heat guns, though, for stripping paint off old
woodwork! There's no feeling quite like finding beautiful molding under 60
years of gooped-on paint.

David.
