Could I use a heat gun to remove a fretboard?

Uses a handy dandy iron and putty knife.. The heat gun might work if you soaked the fretboard.. or maybe soaked rags with water and laid them on the fretboard and used the heat gun to turn that to steam.. but the steam iron is probably better. You need the steam i believe to really loosen the glue

Thanks for the link. I copied that off already and was just wondering about alternatives. Might have to do this when my wife isn't home! There's only one iron in the house!
