Used a heat gun to soften a stuck shutter blade on an old Nikon F2 last night

After letting it soak in lighter fluid for 3 days with no luck, I hit it with the heat gun on low for about 20 seconds and the blade finally freed up, anyone else tried heat on sticky blades or is that a bad idea?

Right there with you, @tylerr39 hit the nail on the head. Heat gun for the win.

Hell yeah, heat gun on low is the move. Saved my ass on a stuck Pentax.
