GAAAAAAAK - don't do this!

If you can't justify the purchase of a heat gun, try one of those bottlenose
lighters made for lighting candles , fireplaces and such.  It's touchy
obviously - if you come too close for too long you'll do little more than
melt not only the heatshink but anything inside or around it.

Try it out on a few samples first - you'll get the hang of it in no time.
Don't let the flame come in contact with anything nor should you let it sit
too long without motion.
