If the purpose is to use as a heat source for shrink wrap, then a hairdryer works easier and is much safer. Also a match or lighter is appropriate. I have even seen teams use a soldering gun as the heat source.

Yes, hair dryer is a total go! (haven't tested it out, but the basic fundamentals are the same) And we have used a lighter, but that is a no.... (Burnt some plastic, didn't smell too good!)
