So as many of you know I'm going to be doing my first retrofit soon and I've been watching YouTube videos and learning everything I can before I get started.
I came across a YouTube video and I saw something I've never seen before. The person used a big cardboard box, modified, and put a heat gun into a small tube leading into the box. He did this instead of the oven technique to open the lights.

Has anyone tried this themselves or even heard of anyone doing this? How does it compare to the oven method? I have a very nice heat gun and I could get cardboard very easily so I was wondering if this method is used by others and how well it actually works. Being that the lights most likely had permaseal on them, it looks like he got them separated in one try, which seems extremely rare considering most people say they need 2 or 3 re-bakes to get them open.
Judging by some of the comments on the YouTube video it seems others have tried this method and have had success.
Any opinions or experience with this method?
