I was using the heat gun far back, and casting a wide "wave" of heat across my work area (on the low setting, too...). Got burned once or twice on the fingers, but it worked quite nicely. The material can take a LOT of heat before melting/burning. Many of the videos online of the 3M qualified installers and trainers use heatguns.
My biggest mistake though was not using glue in the right places. This was a challenging piece to start with, and I've learned my lessons. I will be stripping it and starting over in a week or two, for a more permanent install.
Thanks for the view :-)
Also, I'm going to get a tool that my friend was using today, and if it helps with those pesky corners, I'll post pics. ^_^
