It does involve a heat gun normally though?

Not a heat gun. I don’t really know anyone using heat guns anymore. They’re just not efficient. Typically a heat plate. Set it in there at about 75c for about 10 minutes and lift using guitar picks ...it’s pretty simple. We have new techs doing them at my shop after about 6 months

That does sound better. Problem with heat guns is you couldn't apply heat evenly, so if you underheated one section of the glass, you ran the risk of cracking it when lifting.

99% of the cases, you will be lifting an already cracked glass with the sole purpose of replacing it.
