"Hack a Heat Gun". In small print - if you don't have a heat gun, you can use a regular household hair dryer.

I especially agree with the London Fire Brigade, though. Using a hair dryer (or heat gun) in an unusual manner might cut off ventilation, or concentrate heat for too long on something that isn't designed for it. And, even more, when I think "hack" I think "open up and take apart", and that gives you exposed AC and heating elements.

Note: I have, in fact, disassembled a hair dryer, though I forget what it was for. And I do have a heat gun.
