Another choice is a hot air gun
The one I have came (from Bosch) with three different nozzels so you could
select what type of airstream you want and a choice between 250 and 500
degrees Celcius on the air ( that would be about 500/900 Farenheit ),
perfect for removing paint, loosening rusted details, shaping plastic
details or getting curly hair   :-)
