Will a hair dryer get hot enough for this?

I tried a hairdryer but it did not work nearly as good as the heat gun that I borrowed from a friend. I would definitely try to get an actual heat gun it will save you a lot of time in the long run.

All I did was peel it, and use Windex and the residue rubbed right off. My friend used "Goof Off" to take off the residue.
