Default Removing dowel joint neck

Hi guys,
I recently built a baritone ukulele from a Stewmac kit and managed to over set the neck. I need to remove it to fix it right. It was glued up with titebond original. Would a heat gun warm it sufficiently to loosen the joint? I don't have any silicone heating blankets or the like. But I do have a small hobby iron ( for the fret board extension) and heat gun. Doesn't tightbond release at around 150 degrees or so?
Thanks for your time.
Dave

Yes, Titebond releases with heat. With a joint like a heal joint (neck joint) it is too massive to do with an iron or blanket, but the old steam technique should work fine.
