well its not a glue gun its a heat gun (like a hair dryer only 10x as hot) and a heat gun would be the minimum you could use for this.

i saw a tutorial on youtube, but i dont own a hot air gun , how long would i need to hold it for a hair dryer

i dont think a hair dryer will get it hot enough. you can try but timing will all be up to you.

hmm.... soooo if touched it ..... how would i know to hot is to hot ?? , intill it burns like shit , or its just really hot ??????

find some scrap electronics and test on there boards first. time how long it takes the solder to melt (it should turn shiny) then you will have a rough idea of how long u should hold it there.

hmm.. sounds good ... so ima try it on a chip thats silver i have lying around when the silver starts to shine is how long i should keep it on the cpu and stuff

man i was talking to the guy that make the youtube video ... and he said nothing else works well but a hot air gun , so i guess i must fork over 20-30$$

are u guna add more video's cause that one ends b4 the ps3 is open

the max you can have on youtube is 10 minutes. so u got upload it in 10 min parts or upload to google video
