To a novice, the idea of uncapping with a hot air gun seems to have many advantages.
Question for those who have actually tried this method of uncapping - Does it work ok? and what are the pros/cons?
I'd read somewhere that frames uncapped using a hot air gun do not extract as easily as those who have been uncapped using a knife (although if the hot air gun has melted the cappings off, I can't see how this can be the case).
