From the other side I'm a propane torch advocate ! You keep "sweeping" the flame over the hosel with more time spent on the back of the hosel using the hotter part or cooler part of the flame. The hot part is at the tip of the darker blue cone! Whatever method you use you must lear heat control! Think of it this way, heat guns are used to remove paint and that's not what you want when removing a head from a shaft!

Gerry, I am a heat gun advocate. You hit it on the head, the key is patience, and a good shaft puller. Heat, apply pressure with the puller, heat more if necessary. Keep the heat moving to avoid cooking the head or shaft. I use propane on steel but heat gun on graphite. There are others that use propane or micro torches on everything. It all depends on what you're comfortable with.
