Black and Decker make a Hot Air Gun that looks and works like a hair dryer
... only much hotter. A great tool for this and other similar jobs. They
have a scraper attachment for softening and removing paint...I've never
used it, but I have used mine to soften up undercoating (pretty hard and
messy after 25 years!), soften up ABS pipe for removal from fittings, heat
shrink wrappings, etc. Very handy.
