There you go. The only heat gun I have is one of the small ones used to heat shrink tubing for electric insulation. It's hot enough to light a cigarette, and will blister lacquer in an instant.
I do see a big variation in the pressure sensitive glue used to attach pickguards. The real 3M product (465, 467) tends to be thinner and less likely to harden with age, when compared to the Chinese stuff. The Chinese are completely shameless when it comes to ripping off the name. Ebay is full of Chinese pickguards with the peel-off paper, proudly printed with '3M' all over it.
