I use a household iron on SOF's works well, advantage is you can gradually increase the heat until it works, something that's difficult to do with a heat gun.

DO NOT use your wife's iron, she won't be happy if you do. When you buy one pay attention, there are various heat ranges available and the cheap ones might not get hot enough to work. You certainly don't need the steam feature. I've got two, one little one and a full size (for boats) I think I paid at most $30 for the big one, the little one works almost as well and allows you to reach tighter areas, not a big deal if it's not a design with chines.
